A Study on the Parameter Analysis for the Quantitative Evaluation of Spasticity Implementing Pendulum Test
경직의 정량 평가를 위한 진자실험의 변수분석
Abstract
Velocity-dependent increase in tonic stretch reflexes is one of the prominent characteristics of spasticity. It is very important to evaluate spasticity objectively and quantitatively before and after treatment for physicians. An accurate quantitative biomechanical evaluation for the spasticity which is caused by the disorder of central nervous system is made in this study. A sudden leg dropper which is designed to generate objective testing environment at every trial gives very effective environment for the test. Kinematic data are archived by the 3-dimensional motion analysis system(
