Applying Stretch to Evoke Hyperreflexia in Spasticity Testing: Velocity vs. Acceleration
In neurological diseases, muscles often become hyper-resistant to stretch due to hyperreflexia, an exaggerated stretch reflex response that is considered to primarily depend on the muscle's stretch velocity. However, there is still limited understanding of how different biomechanical triggers a...
