Inter-rater reliability of the Australian Spasticity Assessment Scale in poststroke spasticity
International Journal of Rehabilitation Research, 2022To investigate the inter-rater reliability of the Australian Spasticity Assessment Scale (ASAS) in adult stroke patients with spasticity, two experienced clinicians rated the elbow flexor, wrist flexor, and ankle plantar flexor spasticity by using the ...

Hamstring spasticity assessment: does the hip flexion angle impact outcomes?
Disability and Rehabilitation, 2023Purpose Hamstring spasticity is prevalent following neurological injury. The standardized assessment involves passive knee extension, in a position of 90° hip flexion.

Electromyographic assessment of spasticity
The Italian Journal of Neurological Sciences, 1989We define the concept of muscle tone and describe the signs and symptoms of its alteration in spasticity. In assessing muscle tone it is important to consider all the inputs and outputs affecting it, using biomechanical-EMG techniques for measuring active tone.

Spasticity following brain and spinal cord injury: assessment and treatment
Current Opinion in Neurology, 2022Purpose of review Spasticity is a common sequela of brain and spinal cord injury and contributes to disability, reduces quality of life, and increases economic burden. Spasticity is still incompletely recognized and undertreated.

Assessment of spasticity: an overview of systematic reviews
Physical Therapy Reviews, 2022Background Spasticity is a common impairment following an upper motor neuron lesion. A number of definitions were proposed for spasticity, as it is a complex phenomenon that is difficult to assess. It is important to address the measurement of spasticity

Dynamic electromyography to assess elbow spasticity
The Journal of Hand Surgery, 1990Control of elbow motion was evaluated in 45 extremities of adults with spasticity resulting from traumatic brain injury with use of dynamic electromyography. Simultaneous recording of elbow motion was obtained using a double parallelogram goniometer. Thirty-four male and 9 female patients were studied.

ISOKINETIC DYNAMOMETRIC TECHNIQUE FOR SPASTICITY ASSESSMENT
American Journal of Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation, 1993This study was conducted to determine the feasibility of quantifying spasticity by measuring the resistance to passive movement using an isokinetic dynamometer. A quantifiable method was developed by determining the summation of the four consecutive resisting torque amplitudes during flexion and extension of the knee at specified speeds and range of ...
