Tremor or spasticity? These are two different things. Spasticity is not an indicator of any return. It is an indicator of the end of spinal shock, so that is a good thing as this means it is more likely that true return may be more easily seen now, but the spasticity itself is an indicator of spinal cord damage, not of return.
