Technologically-advanced assessment of upper-limb spasticity: a pilot study.

European journal of physical and rehabilitation medicine Sep 4, 2017
BACKGROUND: Spasticity is a muscle disorder associated with upper motor neuron syndrome occurring in neurological disorders, such as stroke, multiple sclerosis, spinal cord injury and others. It influences the patient's rehabilitation, interfering wi...

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 Jun 19, 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. Thus, the aim of this study was to develop a tool to quantitativel...

Flexion synergy overshadows flexor spasticity during reaching in chronic moderate to severe hemiparetic stroke.

Clinical neurophysiology : official journal of the International Federation of Clinical Neurophysiology May 12, 2017
OBJECTIVE: Pharmaceutical intervention targets arm flexor spasticity with an often-unsuccessful goal of improving function. Flexion synergy is a related motor impairment that may be inadvertently neglected. Here, flexor spasticity and flexion synergy...

Using fuzzy logic for diagnosis and classification of spasticity.

Turkish journal of medical sciences Feb 27, 2017
BACKGROUND/AIM: Spasticity is generally defined as a sensory-motor control disorder. However, there is no pathophysiological mechanism or appropriate measurement and evaluation standards that can explain all aspects of a possible spasticity occurrenc...

Efficacy of robot-assisted rehabilitation for the functional recovery of the upper limb in post-stroke patients: a randomized controlled study.

European journal of physical and rehabilitation medicine Jul 13, 2016
BACKGROUND: A prompt and effective physical and rehabilitation medicine approach is essential to obtain recovery of an impaired limb to prevent tendon shortening, spasticity and pain. Robot-assisted virtual reality intervention has been shown to be m...

Combined effects of robot‑assisted gait training and botulinum toxin type A on spastic equinus foot in patients with chronic stroke: a pilot, single blind, randomized controlled trial.

European journal of physical and rehabilitation medicine Apr 21, 2016
BACKGROUND: Despite the growing evidence about the use of robotic gait training in neurorehabilitation, there is a scant literature about the combined effects of this innovative technological approach and a first‑line treatment for focal spasticity a...

Robotic pilot study for analysing spasticity: clinical data versus healthy controls.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation Dec 2, 2015
BACKGROUND: Spasticity is a motor disorder that causes significant disability and impairs function. There are no definitive parameters that assess spasticity and there is no universally accepted definition. Spasticity evaluation is important in deter...

Facilitatory effects of anti-spastic medication on robotic locomotor training in people with chronic incomplete spinal cord injury.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation Mar 20, 2015
BACKGROUND: The objective of this study was to investigate whether an anti-spasticity medication can facilitate the effects of robotic locomotor treadmill training (LTT) to improve gait function in people with incomplete spinal cord injury (SCI).

How could robotic training and botolinum toxin be combined in chronic post stroke upper limb spasticity? A pilot study.

European journal of physical and rehabilitation medicine Oct 31, 2014
BACKGROUND: Spasticity has a role of primary importance in functional motor recovery of upper limb after a stroke. The widespread intervention is the botulinum toxin neurolysis, however robotic training could have a role as useful addition to this co...
