Warning Signs Of Devic's Disease

Spastic Weakness of Limbs

A spastic weakness of the limbs is different from general muscle weakness or feelings of weakness in the body. In the medical world, spasticity refers to an unusual disruption in the patterns of muscle movement. This disruption causes muscles to contract suddenly and simultaneously. Spasticity is a factor in many neurological and autoimmune diseases. Like every other symptom thus far, it's both an indicator of multiple sclerosis and Devic's disease. Some patients benefit from physical therapy and individualized stretching exercises. However, this won't necessarily help when the cause of the spasticity is the nerves, not the muscles. There are several medical therapies available to help with spasticity. When patients experience limb weakness accompanied by random spasticity, it's a sign the spinal cord is not able to deliver messages to the muscles. Since the complex system of nervous system input and muscle movement isn't functioning, the muscles fail to work like they're supposed to, tensing all at once.
