Recent research indicates that the amino acid taurine may be effective for hypertonia, perhaps through its benzodiazepine-like modulation of the inhibitory neurotransmitter GABA or the neuromuscular effects of increasing intracellular calcium levels.

Hypertonia is high muscle tone that can vary in degree, and that can be influenced by excitement, stress, loud noise, external environmental factors, medication, or joint or body positioning.
23.
A seat and / or backrest that moves dynamically can accommodate involuntary extensor thrusts, absorb the extensor tone and, through the movement of the seating system, dampen the overall impact of hypertonia on the body.
24.
Inhibitory pressure ( applying firm pressure over muscle tendon ) and promoting body heat retention and rhythmic rotation ( slow repeated rotation of affected body part to stimulate relaxation ) have also been proposed as potential methods to decrease hypertonia.
25.
Groups of eligible riders include The sport is open to competitors with impaired muscle power, athetosis, impaired passive range of movement, hypertonia, limb deficiency, ataxia, leg length difference, short stature, and vision impairment.
26.
The recent EMA evaluation also revealed high potential for Parkinsonian ( or extrapyramidal ) symptoms ( such as tremor, rigidity, akinesia, hypertonia ), gait instability, restless leg syndrome, other related movement disorders, reversible after treatment discontinuation.
27.
Patients with the recessive form have mutations in both alleles for GTP cyclohydrolase I . Patients present with developmental delays and neurological dysfunction with trunk hypotonia, hypertonia of the extremities, abnormal movements, tremors, convulsions, and sometimes autonomic dysfunction.
28.
What is more, some ten years ago, they developed and presently successfully apply a methodology for the treatment of pulmonary diseases and hypertonia, including a complex of taking mineral vane, inhalation and negative ionization in rooms specially equipped for that purpose.
29.
Neonatal withdrawal syndrome associated with benzodiazepines include hypertonia, hyperreflexia, restlessness, irritability, abnormal sleep patterns, inconsolable crying, tremors or jerking of the extremities, bradycardia, cyanosis, suckling difficulties, apnea, risk of aspiration of feeds, diarrhea and vomiting, and growth retardation.
30.
Dystonic hypertonia refers to muscle resistance to passive stretching ( in which a therapist gently stretches the inactive contracted muscle to a comfortable length at very low speeds of movement ) and a tendency of a limb to return to a fixed involuntary ( and sometimes abnormal ) posture following movement.
