| decerebrate rigidity | <clinical sign, neurology> Spontaneous extension of elbows, wrists and legs which suggests damage to the diencephalon (midbrain). Seen in cases of stroke and some cases of encephalitis. The decerebrate reflex is a clinical finding characterised by rigid contraction of the extensor and other muscles which maintain an animal in the standing position (antigravity muscles), may be seen in association with a severe stroke, intracranial haemorrhage, cerebral haemorrhage, cerebral toxin or transection of the brain below the level of the anterior corpora quadrigemina but above the vestibular nuclei, clinically may be preceded by decortication. (27 Sep 1997) |

| decerebrate | 1. To cause decerebration. 2. Denoting an animal so prepared, or a patient whose brain has suffered an injury which renders him in his neurologic behaviour comparable to a decerebrate animal. (05 Mar 2000) |

| decerebrate state | A peculiar neurologic condition elicited in vertebrates as a consequence of the elimination of brain function by transecting the brainstem or interrupting function by other techniques. Clinically, brain damage can result in neurological signs resembling those of a decerebrate animal. The state consists of exaggerated postures, grossly abnormal reflexes, convulsions, and extreme muscular rigidity and spasticity. (12 Dec 1998) |
| cadaveric rigidity | Muscular rigidity which develops in the cadaver usually from 4 to 10 hours after death and lasts 3 or 4 days. (12 Dec 1998) |
| catatonic rigidity | Rigidity associated with catatonic psychotic states in which all muscles exhibit flexibilitas cerea. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pathologic rigidity | Rigidity of the cervix uteri in labour, due to fibrosis, scarring, cancer, or other condition. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cerebellar rigidity | Increased tone of the extensor muscles, related to injury of the vermis of the cerebellum. (05 Mar 2000) |
| rigidity | Stiffness or inflexibility, chiefly that which is abnormal or morbid, rigor. Origin: L. Rigiditas, rigidus = stiff (18 Nov 1997) |
| clasp-knife rigidity | Initial increased resistance to stretch of the extensor muscles of a joint that give way rather suddenly allowing the joint then to be easily flexed; the rigidity is due to an exaggeration of the stretch reflex. See: lengthening reaction. Synonym: clasp-knife effect, clasp-knife rigidity. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cogwheel rigidity | <clinical sign, neurology> A type of rigidity seen in parkinsonism in which the muscles respond with cogwheel-like jerks to the use of constant force in bending the limb. (21 Jun 2000) |
| muscle rigidity | Continuous tonic contraction of skeletal muscle. (12 Dec 1998) |
| postmortem rigidity | Muscular rigidity which develops in the cadaver usually from 4 to 10 hours after death and lasts 3 or 4 days. (12 Dec 1998) |
| scleral rigidity | The resistance of the eye to changes in shape with changes in intraocular pressure. (05 Mar 2000) |
| nuchal rigidity | <neurology> Resistance to flexion of the neck, seen in individuals with meningitis. (27 Sep 1997) |
| decorticate rigidity | A unilateral or bilateral postural change, consisting of the upper extremities flexed and adducted and the lower extremities in rigid extension; due to structural lesions of the thalamus, internal capsule, or cerebral white matter. Synonym: decorticate state. (05 Mar 2000) |
| decerebrate rigidity |
the posture produced in an experimental animal by decerebration (qv), marked by rigid extension of the legs. In humans it occurs as a result of lesions of the upper part of the brain stem or of severe bilateral lesions of the cerebrum and is manifested as a posture of lying in rigid extension with arms internally rotated at the shoulders and pronated; elbows, knees, and hips rigidly extended; and fingers, ankles, and toes flexed. Cf. antigravity reflex.

| decerebrate rigidity |
Exaggerated posture of extension as a result of a lesion to the prepontine area of the brain stem, and is rarely seen fully developed in humans. In reporting, it is preferable to describe the posture seen.
