Clinic
- UMN Pathways are first-order neurons, responsible for carrying signals that Initiate / Modulate / Coordinate movement.
- The major UMN tract that initiates voluntary movement is the pyramidal tract.
- Any problem in UMN Pathways, named UMN entity
Sign / Symptoms
UMN entity has these Sign / Symptoms
- Muscle Weakness
- Decreased motor control including Speed, Accuracy and Dexterity
- Hypotonia or Hypertonia
- Decreased endurance
- Exaggerated deep tendon reflexes including:
- Spasticity
- Hyper reflexia
- Clonus
- Reappearance of primitive reflexes, such as the extensor plantar response (Babinski sign)

Note
- UMN tract is initiating and coordinating movement.
- So I suggest The rubric "Spastic paralysis" for problem in initiating muscular movement
- And also the rubric "Incoordination" for problem in coordination
