Interaction between muscle tone, short-range stiffness and increased sensory feedback gains explains key kinematic features of the pendulum test in spastic cerebral palsy: A simulation study. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2018
The pendulum test is a sensitive clinical assessment of spasticity where the lower leg is dropped from the horizontal position and features of limb motion are recorded. Three key kinematic features are associated with the degree of severity of spasticity

Pharmacological management of muscle spasticity [PDF]

Journal of the Korean Medical Association, 2022
Background: Muscle spasticity is a neurologic disorder, which is considered one of the positive signs of upper motor neuron diseases. Spasticity is common after brain or spinal cord injury. Since spasticity results in tendon retraction, muscle weakness, pain, ankylosis, and disability in activities of daily living, treatment is warranted.Current ...
