Hello,

May be trauma to the spine or motor area of brain may cause spasticity. Other possibilities like upper motor neurone lesions or b 12 deficiency or neuro muscular junction problems may present like this.

Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is. Do regular physiotherapy and good nutritional support she may recover. Don't worry but please consult with your neurophysician he will examine and treat you accordingly.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
