Neuro-musculoskeletal simulation of instrumented contracture and spasticity assessment in children with cerebral palsy. [PDF]

J Neuroeng Rehabil, 2016
BackgroundIncreased resistance in muscles and joints is an important phenomenon in patients with cerebral palsy (CP), and is caused by a combination of neural (e.g. spasticity) and non-neural (e.g. contracture) components.

Quantitative Modeling of Spasticity for Clinical Assessment, Treatment and Rehabilitation

Sensors, 2020
Spasticity, a common symptom in patients with upper motor neuron lesions, reduces the ability of a person to freely move their limbs by generating unwanted reflexes. Spasticity can interfere with rehabilitation programs and cause pain, muscle atrophy and

A Regression-Based Framework for Quantitative Assessment of Muscle Spasticity Using Combined EMG and Inertial Data From Wearable Sensors

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2019
There have always been practical demands for objective and accurate assessment of muscle spasticity beyond its clinical routine. A novel regression-based framework for quantitative assessment of muscle spasticity is proposed in this paper using wearable ...

The Intra- and Inter-Rater Reliability of an Instrumented Spasticity Assessment in Children with Cerebral Palsy. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
Despite the impact of spasticity, there is a lack of objective, clinically reliable and valid tools for its assessment. This study aims to evaluate the reliability of various performance- and spasticity-related parameters collected with a manually ...

Technology-assisted assessment of spasticity: a systematic review

Journal of NeuroEngineering and Rehabilitation, 2022
Background Spasticity is defined as “a motor disorder characterised by a velocity dependent increase in tonic stretch reflexes (muscle tone) with exaggerated tendon jerks”.

KAPS (kinematic assessment of passive stretch): a tool to assess elbow flexor and extensor spasticity after stroke using a robotic exoskeleton

Journal of NeuroEngineering and Rehabilitation, 2017
Background Spasticity is a common sequela of stroke. Traditional assessment methods include relatively coarse scales that may not capture all characteristics of elevated muscle tone.

Artifacts Mitigation in Sensors for Spasticity Assessment [PDF]

Advanced Intelligent Systems, 2020
Spasticity is a pathological condition that can occur in people with neuromuscular disorders. Objective, repeatable metrics are needed for evaluation to provide appropriate treatment and to monitor patient condition. Herein, an instrumented bimodal glove

Spasticity Assessment in Cerebral Palsy

Cerebral Palsy, 2018
Spasticity is an important, but not the only, component contributing to the increased joint resistance experienced by children with spastic cerebral palsy. Conventional clinical spasticity scales, based on physical examination of the passive muscle, are easy to apply in pediatric populations.

Stiff Knee Gait Disorders as Neuromechanical Consequences of Spastic Hemiplegia in Chronic Stroke

Toxins, 2023
Stiff knee gait (SKG) is defined as decreased knee flexion during the swing phase. It is one of the most common gait disorders following stroke. Knee extensor spasticity is commonly accepted as the primary cause.
