Welcome to the medhelp neurology forum. Thanks for writing in. Hyperreflexia is a condition where one had overactive or excessive responses from the nervous system, causing twitches or spastic tendencies specific to upper motor neuron disease and loss of control exerted by higher brain centers on lower neural pathways. It is usually caused by a spinal cord injury. Other causes are disturbed balance of electrolytes or serotonin or severe brain trauma. The cause must be found out and treated. I hope this information helps. Take care and keep me posted.
