چکیده
Spasticity is a clinical condition that has negative repercussions on function. A scale capable of quantifying the severity and impact of an injury is fundamental to the rehabilitation process. The objective of this study was to retest and validate the Santa Casa evaluation of spasticity scale, a descriptive assessment of activities of daily living, transfers and locomotion. We analyzed spasticity and functional status in 97 hemiparetic patients. With statistical significance (p<0.05), this new scale demonstrated reliability in assessing clinical-functional conditions and reproducibility as a daily assessment scale for use during rehabilitation.
