Short summary
This paper argues that paratonia, a type of hypertonia, involves active motor response inhibition rather than just increased muscle tone, suggesting a distinct pathophysiological basis.

Key points
- Paratonia is characterized by active motor response inhibition, not just increased muscle tone.
- This inhibition suggests a distinct pathophysiological mechanism separate from other hypertonic conditions.
- The findings challenge the traditional classification of paratonia solely as a form of hypertonia.
