Spasticity is a disorder that involves involuntary contractions of the muscles. These involuntary contractions cause muscle tissue to tighten and become stiff. Spasticity may interfere with speech and motor functions. Spasticity disorder is caused by some of the following: traumatic brain injuries which affect the motor section of the brain, multiple sclerosis, phenylketonuria, cerebral palsy, and spinal cord injury. Treatment options for an individual with spasticity may include stretching, exercise which involves a full range of motion, and physical therapy. Additionally, medications that relax body muscles such as bacofen or diazepam are often used in conjunction with physical therapies to achieve the best result for individuals with spasticity. Can you win social security disability or SSI disability benefits on the basis of spasticity?
