The Motor System and Pain

"A hyperactive sensory system will have repercussions for the motor system as well as the other output systems. Like the sympathetic nervous system, there are local responses such as spasms and ill-health of collagen. There are also observable changes in patterns of gross movement and posture as people cope. These are often conceptualized as muscle imbalance syndromes. The decreased movement options available and the learned habits of the chronic pain sufferer may lead to deconditioning."
