BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE There is currently no consensus on (1) the percentage of patients who develop spasticity after ischemic stroke, (2) the relation between spasticity and initial clinical findings after acute stroke, and (3) the impact of spasticity on activities of daily living and health-related quality of life. METHODS In a prospective cohort study, 301 consecutive patients with clinic...
The aim of this study was to compare the effects of botulinum toxin injection between subacute and chronic stroke patients. Eighteen stroke patients (9 subacute and 9 chronic) with spasticity of 1+ or higher in the hemiplegic elbow or wrist joint, based on the modified Ashworth scale were recruited. Modified Ashworth scale, modified Tardieu scale, manual muscle testing, passive range of motion,...
Infrared video thermography was used to study formation of ice in leaves, stems, and fruit of cranberry (Vaccinium macrocarpon Ait. ‘Stevens’). Ice formed on the plant surface at –1 or –2 °C by freezing of a droplet of water containing ice nucleation-active bacteria (Pseudomonas syringae van Hall). Samples were then cooled to a minimum of –8 °C. Observations on the initiation and propagation of...
The aim of this study was to investigate the infl uence of diff erent positions on stretch refl ex activity of knee fl exors and extensors measured by surface electromyography in poststroke patients with spasticity and its expression in the Ashworth scale. Nineteen poststroke patients with lower-limb spasticity participated in this crossover trial, during which stretch refl ex activity was asse...
OBJECTIVE To investigate the influence of different positions on stretch reflex activity of knee flexors and extensors measured by electromyography in poststroke patients with spasticity and its expression in the Ashworth Scale. DESIGN Crossover trial with randomized order of positioning. SETTING Outpatient rehabilitation center in the Netherlands. PARTICIPANTS Poststroke patients (N = 19...
Background and Aim: Spasticity is a velocity-dependent increase in tonic stretch reflexes (muscle tone) with exaggerated tendon jerks, resulting from hyperexcitability of the stretch reflex. The measurement of spasticity is necessary to determine the effect of treatments. The Modified Ashworth Scale is the most widely used method for assessing muscle spasticity in clinical practice and research...
