Response to Letter to the Editor on "Reliability of the Modified Ashworth Scale after stroke for 13 muscle groups"

To the editor: –We would like to thank the authors for acknowledging the clinical relevance of the information provided in our study.1 As we all know, the Modified Ashworth Scale (MAS) is the most commonly used outcome measure to assess spasticity in clinical settings. Like many other clinical tests, MAS has its limitations because it provides subjective information based on the resistance perceived by a rater during rapid passive movements.
