Motor Impairments UMNL - Motor Impairments (features - 3) Muscle Weakness Loss of Dexterity Spasticity Muscle Weakness Deficiency in initiating, generating force and sustaining force - due to disruption to descending input to LMN (immediately after stroke - compromises strength and speed) Hemiplegia Weakness No typical pattern but: Weakness greater distal than proximal. Flexion weaker than extension. Trunk can be okay due to bilateral innervation. Reduction no. of agonist motor unit...
