Validity and Reliability Study of the Muscle Excitability Scale in Spinal Cord Injury Patients

Spinal Cord Injuries Clinical Trial

Official title:
Muscle Excitability Scale for Assessment of Spastic Reflexes in Spinal Cord Injury. Part II: Validity and Reliability Study

Clinical Trial Summary

The aim of the study is to verify validity and reliability of the Muscle excitability scale (MES), which has been developed to access muscle susceptibility to spasms and/or clones as part of spastic motor behavior in spinal cord injured patients.

Clinical Trial Description

The muscle excitability scale (MES) is intended for patients after spinal cord injury. The objective is to evaluate a motor response (muscle spasms or clones) to a sensory or motor stimulus. A sensory stimulus is created by thumb and pointfinger compression of cutaneous tissue on the inside part of the middle thigh and calf. A motor stimulus is created by passive movement of the lower limb to flexion and extension. The MES grades from 0 to 4 reflect the muscle spastic or clonic tendency and the extent of this motor response (from isolated to generalized). Two investigators will examine a spastic motor behavior in 50 chronic SCI subjects using MES, Modificated Ashworth Scale (MAS) and Penn Spasms Frequency Scale (PSFS) to verify the validity and reliability of the MES. ;
