Type | Measure | Description | Time frame | Safety issue |
---|---|---|---|---|
Primary | Spasticity in the lower extremities will be scored per the | |||
Primary | Ashworth scale at each weekly visit. Additionally, | |||
Primary | subjects will record their daily spasm frequency on a 5 | |||
Primary | point scale in the form of a daily questionnaire. Intra | |||
Primary | and inter-visit indicies of spas. | |||
Secondary | Several questionnaires such as the CHART, SWLS, FIM, and IIEF are used to assess changes in quality of life and function. |
