Muscle spasticity is characterized by involuntary contractions of the muscles that make them feel stiff or tight. Differentiating this from other forms of muscle tightness is crucial since spasticity is noted for its velocity-dependent response. That is, the faster a muscle is stretched, the more it contracts involuntarily.

A significant part of managing spasticity is through movement-focused stretching exercises. This approach gradually acclimates the muscles to a lengthened state, reducing reactive contractions. This routine consists of exercises targeting the hip, knee, and ankle joints.

The initial phase focuses on the hip joints through internal and external rotations. Applying weights around the knees aids in the smooth rotation of the hips, effectively stretching the muscle and avoiding immediate contractions.

To enhance hamstring flexibility, the kneecaps should be maintained straight with a knee immobilizer. Anchoring resistance bands on a wall help in maximizing the stretch by lifting the leg gently, focusing on a controlled, gradual motion.

The routine concludes with rhythmic stretching to prevent joint hyperextension commonly seen in spasmodic conditions. Focus on maintaining a slight knee bend during calf stretches using a wedge for a more profound effect.
