The relation between Ashworth scale scores and the excitability of the α motor neurones in patients with post-stroke muscle spasticity

Background: The modified Ashworth scale (MAS) is the most widely used method for assessing muscle spasticity in clinical practice and research. However, the validity of this scale has been challenged. Objectives: To compare the MAS with objective neurophysiological tests of spasticity. Methods: The...
