Relationship between Modified Ashworth Scale and Alpha Motoneuron Excitability in Spinal Cord Lesions
Background: Spasticity is one of the major neurological complications occurring in people with Spinal Cord Lesions due to loss of supra-spinal and spinal control over alpha motor neuron activity. Its accurate assessment is necessary for tailoring patient specific rehabilitation program. Clinical assessment is commonly done through Modified Ashworth Scale where in the examiner subjectively judge...
متن کاملThe Investigation of Criterion Validity of the Modified Ashworth Scale Using the Alpha Motoneuron Excitability Indicators
The purpose of this study was to investigate the validity of the modified Ashworth Scale (MAS) by using both the conventional (Hmax/Mmax ratio) and the new indicators (Hslp/Mslp) of motoneuron excitability. This research was a correlational study on twenty post-stroke patients. Main outcome measures were the MAS and electrophysiologic assessments. The latter was performed using both conventiona...

متن کاملModified classification of spinal cord vascular lesions.
The literature on spinal vascular malformations contains a great deal of confusing terminology. Some of the nomenclature is inconsistent with the lesions described. Based on the experience of the senior author (R.F.S.) in the treatment of more than 130 spinal cord vascular lesions and based on a thorough review of the relevant literature, the authors propose a modified classification system for...
متن کاملRelationship between Spinal Cord Volume and Spinal Cord Injury due to Spinal Shortening
Vertebral column resection is associated with a risk of spinal cord injury. In the present study, using a goat model, we aimed to investigate the relationship between changes in spinal cord volume and spinal cord injury due to spinal shortening, and to quantify the spinal cord volume per 1-mm height in order to clarify a safe limit for shortening. Vertebral column resection was performed at T10...
