| 英文摘要 | The commonly used method for grading spasticity in clinical applications is Modified Ashworth Scale (MAS). The MAS-based method will depend on the subjective evaluations and the experience of physicians and therefore, which may lead to imprecise and inconsistent. In this study, we proposed a novel normalized index extracted from electromyography (EMG) signals towards to quantitatively assess elbow spasticity. 39 post-stroke patients with elbow spastic caused by hemiplegia participated in the experiments, and their elbow spasticity was assessed with MAS by one experienced physiotherapist and thereafter divided into four groups according to the MAS scales. The sEMG signals were recorded simultaneously on the patients’ biceps and triceps when they extended or bended their elbows passively. The correlations between MAS and root mean square (RMS) of sEMG signals as well as the newly proposed index were calculated. The experimental results demonstrated that the correlation between the MAS and the sEMG-based index in the assessment of elbow spasticity was significant. This suggests that the EMG-based index would be helpful in clinical applications. |
