Early clinical predictors of post stroke spasticity [PDF]
Topics in Stroke Rehabilitation, 2020 Background and Purpose: Up to 40% of stroke patients with paresis develop post-stroke spasticity (PSS), which induces difficult complications including pain, contracture, posture disorder. The most important factor for PSS management is its early initiation, so that early recognition of PSS is required in clinical practice.Methods: This prospective ...

Biomechanical measurement of post-stroke spasticity [PDF]
Age and Ageing, 2006 spasticity following stroke is common, but clinical measurement is difficult and inaccurate. The most common measure is the modified Ashworth scale (MAS) which grades resistance to passive movement (RPM), but its validity is unclear.to assess the validity of the MAS.spasticity was clinically graded using MAS and RPM measured biomechanically in the ...

Research progress in extracorporeal shock wave therapy for upper limb spasticity after stroke
Frontiers in Neurology, 2023 Spasticity is one of the most common complications after stroke. With the gradual intensification of spasticity, stroke patients will have a series of problems such as joint ankylosis and movement restriction, which affect the daily activities and ...

Neuromodulation: Technology at the Neural Interface, EarlyView., 2021 Abstract Objectives Central poststroke pain (CPSP), a neuropathic pain condition, is difficult to treat. Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) targeted to the primary motor cortex (M1) can alleviate the condition, but not all patients respond. We aimed to assess a promising alternative rTMS target, the secondary somatosensory cortex (S2),
