This study aimed to explore the limitations of the Ashworth scale for measuring spasticity. An
isokinetic dynamometer to quantify resistance to passive stretch and surface EMG was used …

Objective: To quantify velocity dependent and position related properties of increased
muscle tone measured during a constant velocity stretch. Methods: Elbow flexors were …

The effect of functional electrical stimulation (FES) training on body composition, assessed
by computed tomography, and the effect of spasticity, assessed by both objective and …

The aim of this study was to investigate the reliability and sensitivity of the Wartenberg
pendulum test for quantification of muscle tone in young children with spastic diplegia …

Experiments using electrical and mechanical activation of spinal reflexes have contributed
important results toward the understanding of neuronal and synaptic dynamics involved in …

Objectives: To evaluate the effect of intrathecal baclofen in a group of spastic children using
electrophysiological procedures described in adults. Methods: Six children (aged 1–14 …

Muscle resistance was evaluated by measurement of movement-provoked torque performed
during simultaneous thigh muscle EMG recordings in individuals with a motor complete …
