De Groot, J.H. Schenkeveld, K.E. Arendzen, J.H. Van der Helm, F.C.T. Meskers, C.G.M. Faculty Mechanical, Maritime and Materials Engineering Department BioMechanical Engineering Date 2010-07-27 Abstract Quantifying increased joint resistance into its contributing factors i.e. stiffness and viscosity ("hypertonia") and stretch reflexes ("hyperreflexia") is important in stroke rehabilitation. Existing clinical tests, such as the Ashworth Score, do not permit discrimination between underlying tissue and reflexive (neural) properties. We propose an instrumented identification paradigm for early and tailor made interventions.
