Background Spasticity is defined as “a motor disorder characterised by a velocity dependent
increase in tonic stretch reflexes (muscle tone) with exaggerated tendon jerks”. It is a highly …

There is a wide variety of tools and measures for rehabilitation outcomes in post-stroke
patients with impairments in the upper limb and hand, such as paralysis, paresis, flaccidity …

Spasticity is a disabling characteristic of neurological disorders, described by a velocity-
dependent increase in muscle tone during passive stretch. During the last few years, many …

Abstract The Tonic Stretch Reflex Threshold (TSRT) is the joint angle or muscle length (λ) at
which muscle activation begins. In spasticity, the TSRT abnormally lies inside the …

Post-stroke motor recovery processes remain unknown. Timescales and patterns of upper-
limb (UL) recovery suggest a major impact of biological factors, with modest contributions …

Stroke patients often suffer from spasticity. Before treatment of spasticity, there are often
practical demands for objective and quantitative assessment of muscle spasticity. However …

Muscle tone is defined as the resistance to passive stretch, but this definition is often
criticized for its ambiguity since some suggest it is related to a state of preparation for …

Spasticity is a motor disorder that affects millions around the world. It is a particular type of
hypertonia characterized by the speed-dependent increase of the muscle stretch reflex …

Objective The current study proposed the development and preliminary validation of a
humanized training approach for upper limb rehabilitation of chronic post-stroke individuals …

Background Cerebral palsy (CP) is considered the most prevalent developmental motor
disorder in children. There is a need for training programs that enhance motor abilities and …
