Abstract:
Upper extremity deformity after brain injury is frequently complex and dominated by spasticity or contracture. Clinical examination of the limb is often difficult and inaccurate. Dynamic electromyography provides valuable information previously unobtainable. Analysis of this data can facilitate appropriate reconstruction of the deformed limb.
