Clawed toes deformity due to spasticity of the extensor digitorum muscle. A case report.
Spasticity is a characteristic and early component of the lesions of the pyramidal tract of demyelinising diseases such as multiple sclerosis, and is included in the chief neurological scales to evaluate this disease. We report the case of a woman with a clawed toes deformity caused by spasticity of the extensor digitorum (longus and brevis) muscles.
