How your upper limbs work normally
The brain sends signals to the muscles of your elbow, wrist, and fingers through nerve cells (called neurons).4 When your muscles receive these signals, your elbow, wrist, and fingers react as your brain directs them.4

When you have upper limb spasticity, the signals sent to the muscles in your elbow, wrist, and fingers become misguided and these muscles constantly tighten or contract.3 The result: your elbow, wrist, and fingers may be bent or stiff.2
