Accuracy and reliability of haptic spasticity assessment using HESS (Haptic Elbow Spasticity Simulator) [PDF]

2011 Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society, 2011
Clinical assessment of spasticity tends to be subjective because of the nature of the in-person assessment; severity of spasticity is judged based on the muscle tone felt by a clinician during manual manipulation of a patient's limb. As an attempt to standardize the clinical assessment of spasticity, we developed HESS (Haptic Elbow Spasticity Simulator)
