Question:

When stretching a muscle that is RESSISTANT to stretching, and then *suddenly* relaxes and stops resisting... do they have rigidity or spasticity?

Author: Alexandra Jessie Wilson



Answer:

Spasticity is muscle stiffness, but nearing the END of the ROM, it will RELEASE (stop resisting). See video in alternative answers to easily understand the different between the two! You'll never forget!
