- Highlights • Spastic stroke survivors display significant asymmetries in vestibulocollic drive to clinically affected and clinically spared motoneuron pools innervating cervical muscles. • There is a strong correlation between the degree of asymmetry in vestibular mediated reflex amplitudes elicited on the clinically affected and clinically spared sides, and the severity of spasticity. • Vestibular drive is a likely source of ionotropic excitation that places spastic-paretic motoneurons in a hyperexcitable state.
