Corticospinal tract syndrome ..• The changes may includes: Muscle weakness Decrease motor control including decrease speed and accuracy Spasticity Babinski sign and Ankle clonus is present Deep tendon reflexes are increased or present Clasp-knife response [slideshare.net]

At the beginning spinal shock is present due to cessation of supraspinal innervation of α-motoneuron. Muscles become flaccid and no reflexes are present (areflexia). In time (regeneration) synapses are established within the spinal cord. [wikilectures.eu]

Patients who have sustained damage to their corticospinal tract have a prognosis that varies, depending on the nature of the damage. Some patients may be able to regain motor control over the course of the healing process. [wisegeek.org]

This distinction is important for genetic counseling of family members and for the patient’s prognosis, in that HSP generally carries a more favorable prognosis. [2] Other components of the differential diagnosis of HSP are similar to those of PLS. [emedicine.medscape.com]
