Overview of the assessment methods for muscle spasm after stroke
Spasm is a common complication of stroke with high morbidity and a high disability rate.Spasticity continues to impair the patient's motor function,and symptoms such as muscle shortening and joint deformity may occur,which seriously affects the patient's physical and mental health.Systemic therapy is a key part to control spasticity clinically.However,systematic treatment is conducted on the basis of proper assessment.The tools for assessing spasticity are divided into two categories:subjective and objective,and the subjective assessment tools mainly include some scales,which are subjectively assessed and judged by the therapist.Objective methods mainly include electrophysiology testers,ultrasonic measurement techniques,robots,three-dimensional motion analysis systems,isokinetic muscle strength testers,etc.This paper analyzes and summarizes the methods of post-hemiplegic spasticity assessment through a literature review,reviews the advantages,disadvantages and practicability of various assessment methods,and puts forward prospects for future research directions.
