Measuring muscle tone with isokinetic dynamometer technique in stroke patients
Study aim: Increased muscle tone, a common consequence of stroke, has neural and non-neural components. Spasticity is related to the neural component. Non-neural resistance arises from passive stiffness. This study was designed to assess the feasibility of using isokinetic dynamometry to evaluate wr...

| Summary: | Study aim: Increased muscle tone, a common consequence of stroke, has neural and non-neural components. Spasticity is related to the neural component. Non-neural resistance arises from passive stiffness. This study was designed to assess the feasibility of using isokinetic dynamometry to evaluate wrist flexor muscle spasticity in stroke patients. |
