	== Introduction ==		== Introduction ==
	'''Spasticity''' is a condition characterized by an abnormal increase in muscle tone or stiffness, which can interfere with movement, speech, or cause discomfort and pain. It results from an increase in the velocity-dependent muscle contractions, often due to neurological disorders.
