An observational study in Muscle Spasticity, sponsored by Cliniques universitaires Saint-Luc- Université Catholique de Louvain. Completed at 1 site in Belgium. Open to participants aged 18 Years to 99 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2023-06-18.
Sponsored by Cliniques universitaires Saint-Luc- Université Catholique de Louvain · Observational
Objective:
Methods: each patient will be assessed three times: two times at an interval of 15 minutes on the same day and one time at an interval of one week at the same time of the day. The following measurements will be made at each evaluation: SWE, MyotonPro, clinical evaluation. SWE and MytotonPro will be taken at different angle joint position.
Outcomes: muscle stiffness measured by SWE and MyotonPro at different angle joint positions, and clinical evaluation (passive range of motion, modified ashworth scale, tardieu scale, fuglmeyer) Hypothesis: SWE is a valid, reliable, and resposive method to assess muscle stiffness in neurological population with muscle overactivity. The results of SWE will be correlated with the results of MyotonPro and with clinical outcomes.

Exclusion Criteria:
shearwave elastography on upper or lower limb
reliability, validity and responsiveness shearwave elastography (SWE) to assess muscle elasticity
expressed in m/s. A smaller shearwave velocity indicates a better outcome.
Time frame: Day 1
reliability, validity and responsiveness shearwave elastography (SWE) to assess muscle elasticity
expressed in m/s. A smaller shearwave velocity indicates a better outcome
Time frame: Day 1 + 15 minutes
reliability, validity and responsiveness shearwave elastography (SWE) to assess muscle elasticity
expressed in m/s. A smaller shearwave velocity indicates a better outcome
Time frame: Day 1 + 7-14 days
muscle stiffness assessment with MyotonPro
a smaller muscle stiffness indicates a better outcome
Time frame: two times day 1 at 15minutes interval + 7-14 days later at same time of the day
passive range of motion
expressed in angles °. The greater the angle, the better the outcome
Time frame: day 1 + 7-14 days later at same time of the day
modified ashworth scale
minimum score:0; maximum score: 4. A higher score indicates a greater spasticity thus a worse outcome
Time frame: day 1 + 7-14 days later at same time of the day
Tardieu scale
minimum score:0; maximum score: 4. A higher score indicates a greater spasticity thus a wourse outcome
Time frame: day 1 + 7-14 days later at same time of the day
Fugl-meyer score (Lower extremity; motor function)
maximum score of 34. The highest the score, the better the motor function
Time frame: day 1 + 7-14 days later at same time of the day
