Quantification and documentation of changes produced by spinal cord stimulation.
In spastic patients suffering from spastic paresis on one side the degree of spasticity on the background of isometric innervation was investigated with a new self-constructed torque motor. It offers the opportunity to analyze how external forces can be compensated automatically by reflex or reaction. In spastic patients M1, M2 and M3 were compared with the responses of the nonaffected normal side as a control. The effects of diazepam and baclofen are analyzed with this new technique.
