IEEE Transactions on Biomedical Engineering, 1989 A model of hemiplegic spasticity based on electromyographical and biomechanical parameters measured during passive muscle stretching is presented. Two components of spasticity can be distinguished--phasic and tonic. This classification depends on the pattern of stretch reflex activity which can be either phasic or tonic as well as on the muscle stretch/

Spasticity syndrome in cerebral pathology: evaluation and clinical models
Неврология, нейропсихиатрия, психосоматика, 2021 Knowing the frequency of spasticity patterns in different muscles allows correcting the botulinum neurotoxin (BoNT) administration schemes and creating spasticity models that could predict the drug consumption and treatment cost.Objective: to develop ...
