Correlation between gait speed and spasticity at the knee.

Abstract

An automated system designed and developed at this laboratory was used to measure spasticity in the thigh musculature of fifteen patients with hemiplegia. In addition, each subject was timed during a gait trial over a measured distance at maximum speed. Analysis of the data revealed no statistically significant correlation between spasticity in the thigh musculature and the gait speed of the subjects studied. Factors which may have contributed to the findings are mentioned.
