• Clonus

  Rootlets with clonus reaction against intraoperative electrical stimulation show dysmyelination, and in one child, axonal degeneration can also be observed. Rootlets with normal reaction have only minimum changes on their myelin sheath. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Types of peripheral neuropathy There are more than 100 types of peripheral neuropathy, each with its own set of symptoms and prognosis. To help doctors classify them, they are often broken down into the following categories: Motor neuropathy. [stlouischildrens.org]

Since observed neuropathy is mainly on the myelin sheath, the etiology is considered to be the chronic overload of afferent impulses from muscle spindles in the spastic muscle. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
