 Today we talked about the consequences of strokes, and how they prevent people from using their I-funciton to control limbs on the opposite side that the occurred.  Unfortunately, I don't recall the term for the stiffening of the muscles after a stroke, but I do have a question about it.  So, stroke victims will react (with the limb they can't move) to a beach ball thrown at them, like a reflex. Therefore, they don't have control of these limbs because something happened between with the connection between their I-function and their motor neurons.  While I was searching for the name of the condition that stiffens the muscles in stroke victims, I am across the term hypertonia, which seemed to be the same thing.  However, hypertonia affects both stroke victims and victims of cerebral palsy.  Is there a connection between strokes and cerebral palsy?
