Difference between Cerebral palsy and Spasm

Cerebral palsy vs. Spasm

Cerebral palsy (CP) is a group of permanent movement disorders that appear in early childhood. A spasm is a sudden involuntary contraction of a muscle, a group of muscles, or a hollow organ such as the heart.

Similarities between Cerebral palsy and Spasm

Cerebral palsy and Spasm have 8 things in common (in Unionpedia): Antispasmodic, Dystonia, Epileptic seizure, Hypertonia, Muscle contraction, Muscle tone, Neurology, Spasticity.

Antispasmodic

An antispasmodic (synonym: spasmolytic) is a pharmaceutical drug or other agent that suppresses muscle spasms.

Dystonia

Dystonia is a neurological movement disorder syndrome in which sustained or repetitive muscle contractions result in twisting and repetitive movements or abnormal fixed postures.

Epileptic seizure

An epileptic seizure is a brief episode of signs or symptoms due to abnormally excessive or synchronous neuronal activity in the brain.

Hypertonia

Hypertonia is a term sometimes used synonymously with spasticity and rigidity in the literature surrounding damage to the central nervous system, namely upper motor neuron lesions.

Muscle contraction

Muscle contraction is the activation of tension-generating sites within muscle fibers.

Muscle tone

In physiology, medicine, and anatomy, muscle tone (residual muscle tension or tonus) is the continuous and passive partial contraction of the muscles, or the muscle's resistance to passive stretch during resting state.

Neurology

Neurology (from νεῦρον (neûron), "string, nerve" and the suffix -logia, "study of") is a branch of medicine dealing with disorders of the nervous system.

Spasticity

Spasticity is a feature of altered skeletal muscle performance with a combination of paralysis, increased tendon reflex activity, and hypertonia.
