Abstract:
In this paper the most commonly used methods of assessment patients with spasticity has been presented. "Measuring" of spasticity is necessary for evaluation of new methods of treatment. This could be made directly or indirectly--in that case the sequela of spasticity is measured. In this elaboration as well subjective as objective methods of examination in spasticity has been described. The tone intensity scales, spasm frequency scores, global scales of motor impairment, ADL scales, upper extremity dexterity and strength testing, examination techniques and maneuvers to differentiate rectus femoris from iliopsoas and gastrocnemius from soleus tightness, clinical gait scores, EMG and goniometric pendulum test has been mentioned.
