Summary

Spasticity is commonly observed in neurological conditions such as Multiple Sclerosis and spinal cord injury. "Peripheral" spasticity, concerning in particular the striated muscles of the limbs is nowadays well known and studied with clinical scales (Ashworth, Taridieu...) or even electrophysiological methods (H-reflex, T-reflex...). However, this spasticity can also affect the perineal muscles and more generally the pelvic muscles. However, there is to date no validated and standardized method for evaluating this pelvi-perineal spasticity.

The aim of the study will be to assess the spinal motoneurons excitability by using the stimulus-response curves of the bulbocavernosus reflex.
