TY - JOUR PY - 1996// TI - Reliability of the modified Ashworth scale in the assessment of plantarflexor muscle spasticity in patients with traumatic brain injury JO - International journal of rehabilitation research A1 - Allison, S. C. A1 - Others, And SP - 67 EP - 78 VL - 19 IS - 1 N2 - This attempt to determine the reliability of the Modified Ashworth Scale for assessing the severity of muscle spasticity for ankle plantarflexors in 30 patients with traumatic brain injury concluded that the reliability was minimally adequate to support the scale's continued use. Interrater reliability was less than that previously reported for elbow flexors, and intrarater reliability findings were mixed.
