A sensitive test for spasticity is the Trömner reflex test for increased finger flexor stretch reflexes (does not require a hammer). Check plantar responses (leg straight to pick up triple response).
Exaggerated tendon tap reflexes and an increased resistance of a muscle to stretching indicate the presence of spasticity caused by a central motor lesion. Exaggerated stretch or flexor reflexes ...

Deep tendon reflexes were slightly increased in patient 1 but normal in patients 2 and 3. Flexor plantar reflexes were elicited in all patients. Cardiac arrest was due to anaphylaxis in patient 1, ...
[7] Components of transient dystonia include either hypotonia, or more typically, increased muscle tone with extensor hypertonus through the trunk and lower extremities and increased flexor tonus ...
