Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
There are two type of neurogenic problems one is lower motor neurones in which muscle atrophy occurs due to loss of innervation and second is upper motor neurones where spasticity occurs due to cortical damage you should have EMG ncv which can diagnose your condition.
