    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Rehabilitation Medicine
    • Physical Therapy

    Background:

    • Abnormal muscle tone is a significant challenge in neurological patient rehabilitation.
    • Current nursing interventions aim to normalize muscle tone but may not fully address motor function restoration.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review and evaluate methods for measuring muscle tone in neurologically impaired patients.
    • To assess the reliability of different muscle tone measurement techniques.

    Main Methods:

    • Literature review of muscle tone assessment techniques.
    • Analysis of methods including video analysis for quantifying movement quality.

    Main Results:

    • Muscle tone abnormalities significantly impact motor function recovery.
