Interrater reliability of a modified Ashworth scale of muscle spasticity.
We undertook this investigation to determine the interrater reliability of manual tests of elbow flexor muscle spasticity graded on a modified Ashworth scale. We each independently graded the elbow flexor muscle spasticity of 30 patients with intracranial lesions. We agreed on 86.7% of our ratings. The Kendall's tau correlation between our grades was .847 (p less than .001). Thus, the relations...
متن کاملFeasibility, test-retest reliability, and interrater reliability of the Modified Ashworth Scale and Modified Tardieu Scale in persons with profound intellectual and multiple disabilities.
Caregivers of persons with profound intellectual and multiple disabilities (PIMD) often describe the quality of the daily movements of these persons in terms of flexibility or stiffness. Objective outcome measures for flexibility and stiffness are muscle tone or level of spasticity. Two instruments used to grade muscle tone and spasticity are the Modified Ashworth Scale (MAS) and the Modified T...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to analyze the intraobserver reliability of the Modified Ashworth Scale (MAS) and Modified Tardieu Scale (MTS) in the assessment of spasticity in children with cerebral palsy (CP). METHODS Elbow flexor muscles, wrist flexor muscles, hip adductors, hamstrings, gastrocnemius and soleus muscles of 37 children (mean age: 8.97±4.41) with spastic CP were evaluate...
متن کاملMeasurement of lower-limb muscle spasticity: intrarater reliability of Modified Modified Ashworth Scale.
The Modified Modified Ashworth Scale (MMAS) is a clinical instrument for measuring spasticity. Few studies have been performed on the reliability of the MMAS. The aim of the present study was to investigate the intrarater reliability of the MMAS for the assessment of spasticity in the lower limb. We conducted a test-retest study on spasticity in the hip adductors, knee extensors, and ankle plan...
