  • Title: [Objective measures of muscle stiffness in the ankle. Evaluation of the effect of intrathecal injection of baclofen in spastic patients].
    Author: Detrembleur C, Lejeune TM, Plaghki L.
    Journal: Neurochirurgie; 1998 Sep; 44(3):197-200. PubMed ID: 9827436.
    Abstract:
    This paper presents the objective and quantitative measurement of muscle stiffness described by Rack and Lehmann. This method allows analysis of the pathophysiological mechanism of spasticity and assessment of anti-spastic treatment. This is illustrated by a case report, showing the objective effect of intrathecally administered baclofen in a spastic patient.
