No. Swelling in one's abdomen is not spasticity. Spasticity is not just stiffness. It's an actual interference with muscle function that causes the muscle to respond poorly to signals- to flex and contract randomly, slowly or not at all. UMN signs are obvious to examining doctors. There are signs present in a clinical exam that doctors can elicit via a variety of methods.
