Muscle atrophy may occur in individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI) as a result of diminished physical activity and alterations in glucose metabolism and body composition may be seen. In a few studies, it has been suggested that spasticity may have a positive impact on glucose metabolism by preventing muscle atrophy and alterations in body composition in individuals with motor complete SCI. Investigators aimed to assess the effects of spasticity on glucose metabolism and body composition in participants with complete and incomplete SCI.
