Design of a passive hydraulic simulator for abnormal muscle behavior replication
Spasticity and rigidity are two abnormal hypertonic muscle behaviors commonly observed in passive joint flexion and extension evaluation. Clinical evaluation for spasticity and rigidity is done through in-person assessment using qualitative scales. Due to the subjective nature of this evaluation …

Design and evaluation of a passive hydraulic simulator for biceps spasticity
… simulator was developed to replicate a common abnormal muscle behavior, biceps spasticity, at different levels of severities. Spasticity is often found in patients with stroke, spinal cord injuries, and other neurological disorders causing abnormal motor activity. The current assessment of …

Quantification of spasticity and rigidity for biceps and triceps using the PVRM (position, velocity, and resistance meter)
Spasticity and rigidity are two common types of abnormal muscle behavior seen among patients with neurological disorders (e.g., stroke, Parkinson’s Disease). Clinical assessment of increased muscle resistance during passive movement, or hypertonicity, involves qualitative and subjective scales such …
