Abstract

Background & Aims: The MODIFIED TARDIEU SCALE (MTS) is a clinical scale for measuring the degree of muscle SPASTICITY. The aim of this study was to evaluate the validity of the MTS in measuring postSTROKE knee extensor SPASTICITY.Methods: This was a cross-sectional study performed in 2012 at a university clinic of neurological physiotherapy in Tehran, Iran, with repeated measurements. In the present study, 15 postSTROKE patients with a mean age of 53.8 ± 14.0 years and mean time since STROKE of 40.0 ± 32.2 months participated. The knee extensor muscle SPASTICITY was assessed using the MTS to calculate the R2-R1 as the main clinical measure. To calculate the WORK, an ISOKINETIC DYNAMOMETER was used to quantify torque-angle data during passive movements at 4 speeds (60o, 120o, 180o, and 240o/sec). The linear regression was used to calculate the slope for the WORK-velocity data [Joule/(degree/sec)].Results: There were significant differences between WORKs done by the dynamometer at four speeds; as the speed increased the WORK decreased (P < 0.01). Mean (standard deviation) slope for the WORK-velocity data was -0.76 (0.78). There was no significant correlation between the dynamic component of MTS (R2-R1) and slope for the WORK-velocity data.Conclusion: The results indicate that the MTS might not be a valid measure for assessing knee extensor muscle SPASTICITY in this sample of patients after STROKE.
