Comparing the Modified Ashworth scale and Tardieu scale with h/m ratio for assessing biceps spasticity in post stroke individuals – A cross-sectional study
Cross-sectional study compares modified ashworth scale and tardieu scale with h/m ratio in stroke patients, suggesting assessment options.
Key Points
Significant positive correlation was found between the modified ashworth scale and the tardieu scale, indicating comparable effectiveness in spasticity assessment.
The tardieu scale showed a stronger correlation with the h/m ratio than the modified ashworth scale, emphasizing its reliability in measuring spasticity.
A cross-sectional study was conducted on 30 post-stroke individuals to measure biceps muscle spasticity using established scales.
Results support the use of both the modified ashworth scale and the tardieu scale, but highlight the latter's superior correlation with the h/m ratio.
