Skeletal muscle hypertonicity may be associated with PYRAMIDAL TRACT lesions or BASAL GANGLIA DISEASES. Source: Diseases Database. Hypertonia: abnormal increase in skeletal or smooth muscle tone; skeletal muscle hypertonicity may be associated with pyramidal tract lesions or basal ganglia diseases.
Hypertonia is caused by upper motor neuron lesions which may result from injury, disease, or conditions that involve damage to the central nervous system. The lack of or decrease in upper motor neuron function leads to loss of inhibition with resultant hyperactivity of lower motor neurons.
