Clonus: - CORRECT ANSWERS Clonus is typically seen in patients with stroke, multiple

neuron lesions involving descending motor pathways, and in many cases is, accompanied by
spasticity (another form of hyperexcitability).Unlike small, spontaneous twitches known as
fasciculations (usually caused by lower motor neuron pathology), clonus causes large
motions that are usually initiated by a reflex.
