Sometimes my leg will begin to twitch all over, and eventually the foot and lower leg will extend straight, with toes pointing down. The funny thing is I can voluntarily stop it and it will be still for a while (this does not happen at night - only during day). My arm can do the same thing but usually the bicep starts twitching and contracting pulling the arm up slightly - can voluntarily stop that too. Is that a spasm or cramp - I would call it a cramp?
So what is spasticity? The muscle contracts and won't release voluntarily or involuntarily without stretching? Maybe a mute point, but trying to distinguish an UMN sign from LMN sign, or some totally different mechanism.
BTW, shoulders and chest muscles can do this too with me.:shock:
