3D motion analysis after surgical treatment of elbow flexor spasticity: a proof-of-concept study

Postoperative outcomes after hyperselective neurectomy of the elbow flexors are commonly assessed with the modified Ashworth Scale or the Tardieu Scale. A degree of subjectivity exists despite our best efforts. This proof-of-concept study evaluated the feasibility and added value of an instrumented protocol combining three-dimensional motion analysis and surface electromyography.
