As per the report, the growing incidence of muscle hypertonia and improving treatment-seeking rates are the factors attributed to growth in global muscle hypertonia treatment market. Hypertonia is used synonymously with muscle spasticity and muscle rigidity. Muscle hypertonia is a common finding in patients with upper motor neuron syndrome. Muscle hypertonia is characterized by increased muscle tone which causes stiffness in hands and legs. Causes of muscle hypertonia can be blow to the head, stroke, brain tumors, neurodegenerative diseases, cerebral palsy, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, etc. Muscle hypertonia limits the movement of joints hence limits the body functions such as walking, balancing etc. If hypertonia is severe, it can cause a joint to become frozen, which is called as a joint contracture. The prognosis of muscle hypertonia depends on severity of the disease and underlying cause. For instance, in case of cerebral palsy muscle hypertonia can last lifelong. In other conditions hypertonia may worsen along with the underlying disease. If hypertonia is mild it has little or no effect on person’s health. Moderate hypertonia may affect joint contracture. Severe muscle hypertonia causes immobility, risk of bone fracture, infection, bed sores, pneumonia etc.
