Y1 - 2022 N1 - T2 - Pharmacology in Rehabilitation, 5e AB - Skeletal muscle relaxants are used to treat conditions associated with hyperexcitable skeletal muscle— specifically, spasticity and muscle spasms. Although these two terms are often used interchangeably, spasticity and muscle spasms represent two distinct abnormalities. However, the use of relaxant drugs is similar in each condition because the ultimate goal is to normalize muscle excitability without a profound decrease in muscle function. SN - PB - F. A.
