The results of applying the Wartenberg pendulum test to the assessment of muscle tone in populations of stroke and Parkinsonian patients are described. The test was able to distinguish between increased muscle tone of the spastic or rigid type. The Parkinsonian patients showed a marked reduction of the maximum velocity of the leg swing, with the relaxation index tending to a value of about one. In contrast the affected limb of stroke patients showed a lesser reduction of the velocity of the swing, the relaxation index tending to a value of less than one.
描述了将瓦滕伯格摆锤试验应用于中风和帕金森病患者群体肌张力评估的结果。该试验能够区分痉挛型或强直型肌张力增高。帕金森病患者腿部摆动的最大速度明显降低,松弛指数趋于约为1的值。相比之下,中风患者的患侧肢体摆动速度降低较少,松弛指数趋于小于1的值。
