Tonic Stretch Reflex Threshold as a Measure of Ankle Plantar-Flexor Spasticity After Stroke.

CONCLUSION: TSRT inter-evaluator reliability was very good for evaluating stroke-related plantarflexor spasticity. TSRT is a reliable measure of spasticity. More information may be gained by combining TSRT measurement with a measure of velocity-dependent resistance. PMID: 26450971 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
