A study was conducted to determine the feasibility of quantifying spasticity in plantarflexors by measuring the resistance to passive dorsiflexion of the ankle joint at several constant angular speeds. Repeated testing was conducted on normal subjects and spastic patients. Good repeatability was found for both groups and both groups were found to differ significantly from each other with respect to the measurement variable. The method will provide a useful tool for quantifying alterations in plantarflexor spasticity which result from various surgical and non-surgical treatments.
开展了一项研究，以确定通过在几个恒定角速度下测量踝关节被动背屈的阻力来量化跖屈肌痉挛的可行性。对正常受试者和痉挛患者进行了重复测试。发现两组的重复性都很好，并且发现两组在测量变量方面存在显著差异。该方法将为量化各种手术和非手术治疗导致的跖屈肌痉挛变化提供一个有用的工具。
