The pendulum test for evaluating spasticity of the elbow joint.
OBJECTIVE To develop a modification of the pendulum test to allow evaluation of elbow spasticity. DESIGN The main difficulties of directly applying the conventional pendulum test to the elbow were the small inertia of the forearm and the uncomfortable posture. We designed an experimental apparatus similar to a clock pendulum and developed an elbow biomechanic model to measure objectively spas...

چکیده مهارت شنیداری برای مدتهای طولانی در آموزش ، تحقیق و ارزیابی مورد غفلت قرار گرفته است. اگرچه در سالهای اخیر به خاطر اهمیت قابل ملاحظه این توانائیها در آموزش و آزمون زبان ، توجه بیشتری به توانائیهای شنیداری شده است. هم چنانکه درک شنیداری در آموزش و ارزیابی زبان دوم اهمیت فزاینده ای می یابد محققین سعی نموده اند تا ماهیت مهارتهای مستتر در مهارت شنیداری را مورد بررسی و مطالعه قرار دهند. هدف ...
15 صفحه اولDoes the Wartenberg pendulum test differentiate quantitatively between spasticity and rigidity? A study in elderly stroke and Parkinsonian patients.
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....
متن کاملBiomechanical measurement of post-stroke spasticity.
BACKGROUND spasticity following stroke is common, but clinical measurement is difficult and inaccurate. The most common measure is the modified Ashworth scale (MAS) which grades resistance to passive movement (RPM), but its validity is unclear. AIM to assess the validity of the MAS. METHODS spasticity was clinically graded using MAS and RPM measured biomechanically in the impaired arm of 11...
