Filter by:This project will determine the feasibility and validity of measuring elbow muscle flexor stiffness in a population of patients with sub-acute severe acquired brain injury using two measurement methods, the portable spasticity assessment device (PSAD) (Movotec, Charlottenlund, Denmark) and an ultrasound measurement called shear wave sonoelastography (SWE).
