A writeup from Henry Hoffman of Saebo. I wonder how many years before this gets into textbooks so we can have therapists properly trained.

Not as much now, but in the recent past, discussing strength training a
hyperactive or spastic muscle was a very controversial topic amongst
clinicians at happy hour, in the clinic, or at CEU’s. For many, the
thought of having upper motor neuron lesion clients squeeze their
hyperactive finger flexors or flex their spastic biceps in the late
1980-90’s (and earlier) would have made many clinicians cringe. The
visual that comes to mind for me is something out of a CSI show, but
instead of a homicide, you were looking at a clinical “assault and
battery” where security would have been called and the crime scene tape
would have been wrapped around the patient and the plinth. The suspected
serial criminal then would have collected his or her belongings and
performed the famous perp walk out of the clinic for all of the fellow
clinicians to see. Yes, the media would have eventually covered this
story and learned that this inept clinician, known publically now as
“high toner”, would be linked to previous clinical crimes ranging from
“excessive upper trap activation” to “absence of manual cues”. OK, maybe
a bit melodramatic and a tad over-exaggerated, but I think you get the
idea.
