[Spasticity : From assessment to personalized treatment].

Revue medicale suisse, 2021
Spasticity is a phenomenon regularly encountered in neurorehabilitation but also in regular clinical practice. Its clinical assessment must be detailed and associated with an evaluation of the functional aspect in order to set up therapeutic strategies according to personalized goals.

Quantitative assessment of intrathecally administered baclofen in spasticity

Archives of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, 2000
To quantitatively assess the antispastic effect of intrathecally administered baclofen on muscle stiffness in spastic patients.Case-control study.Clinical laboratory in a university hospital of a city of more than 1,000,000 inhabitants.Eighteen healthy adult volunteers (9 men, 9 women) were recruited for establishing the normal values.

Objective Assessment of Spasticity With a Method Based on a Human Upper Limb Model

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering, 2018
This paper presents a method based on a human upper limb model that assesses the severity of spasticity in patients with stroke objectively. The kinematic model consists of four moving segments connected by four joints.

Functional outcome measures to assess interventions for spasticity

Archives of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, 1996
Clinicians use functional loss as a criterion to treat spasticity, but the connection between function and severity of spasticity is not well established for monitoring spasticity treatment effect. Studies were reviewed which have implemented outcome measures to assess functional changes relative to changes in spasticity.

Assessing and treating functional impairment in poststroke spasticity

Neurology, 2013
Poststroke spasticity (PSS) is associated with significant consequences for a patient's functional status and quality of life. Nonetheless, no uniform definition of spasticity exists that can be utilized across clinical research settings, and difficulties in validating proper assessment tools--both clinical and nonclinical--complicate the ability to ...

Patterns and assessment of spastic hemiplegic gait

Muscle & Nerve
AbstractHemiparetic gait disorders are common in stroke survivors. A circumductory gait is often considered the typical hemiparetic gait. In clinical practice, a wide spectrum of abnormal gait patterns is observed, depending on the severity of weakness and spasticity, and the anatomical distribution of spasticity. Muscle strength is the key determinant

[Clinical assessment of spasticity in children].

Neuro-Chirurgie, 2003
This article presents the four principle steps of assessment of children with cerebral palsy. Weakness of some muscles groups and spasticity of others and the subsequent functional impairment can be identified by observation. Analytical assessments of spasticity with the Ashworth and Tardieu scales were compared in 30 children with cerebral palsy, mean

Assessment of Spasticity in Pediatric Patients

2014
Children are most often referred with the generic diagnosis of hypertonia. The first concern then is to determine the real nature of this hypertonia. Is it real spasticity? Is there an excess of spasticity which interferes with the capability of the child to ambulate, stand, and rest, as well as with the ability of the caregivers to provide optimal ...

Quantitative methods of spasticity assessment.

Ortopedia, traumatologia, rehabilitacja, 2013
Spasticity exists in many neurological diseases including cerebral palsy. Spasticity leads to the structural deformations, which are addressed, with different surgical and rehabilitation treatment. Complex medical treatment consisting of surgical approach and physiotherapy has particular significance during the development of the child.

Postural assessment in hereditary spastic paraparesis

2022
Hereditary spastic paraparesis (HSP) is a heterogeneous group of neurodegenerative disorders, characterized by spasticity and weakness of the lower limbs, which may perturb the balance control. Purpose of this study was to quantify postural stability in HSP children. We tested 5 children with HSP and 5 healthy participants (H).
