Spasticity Research
The primary measure of spasticity employed in our labs has been through use
of electromyographic responses to imposed length changes in hyperactive muscles
from torque motor manipulations or during volitional movements. The impact
of several interventions, including EMG biofeedback and stretch reflex conditioning,
has been quantified through integration of EMG responses or exploring changes
in variability of averaged muscle responses during repeated functionally-oriented
movements.
