Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Pseudomyostatic contracture is the term that best describes impaired extensibility of a muscle-tendon unit resulting from spasticity or rigidity due to a lesion of the central nervous system. This condition is characterized by a constant state of contraction that mimics muscle shortening, despite the absence of actual changes in the muscle's physical length.
