Abstract

Introduction & Objective: The Modified Modified ASHWORTH SCALE (MMAS) is a clinical measure that has been recently developed for the assessment of muscle SPASTICITY. There is a dearth of research on the validity of the MMAS. The aim of the present study was to investigate the relationship between the MMAS and the biomechanical measure of WORK-velocity slope in assessing knee extensor muscle SPASTICITY in patients with hemiparesia.Materials & Methods: Fourteen patients with post-stroke hemiparesia were included in this cross sectional study. Knee extensor SPASTICITY was assessed with MMAS. An isokinetic dynamometer was used to impose knee passive flexion with the angular velocity of 10, 30, 60, and 90 o/Sec to measure Torque-angle data. WORK (Joule) was calculated at each velocity to determine the slope of the WORK-velocity curves as the biomechanical measure of muscle SPASTICITY.Results: The mean WORK decreased as the velocity increased but was not statistically significant (P=0.07). The mean slope was – 0.35 [J / (o/Sec)]. There was no significant correlation between the MMAS and the WORK-velocity slope (r=0.31, P=0.28).Conclusion: There was no significant relationship between the MMAS and the biomechanical measure of WORK-velocity slope. Further studies with larger sample size are suggested.
