SPASTICITY QUANTIFICATION DEVICE

摘要

The present invention relates to a portable devise that is able to quantify spasticity. In one aspect, the invention allows clinicians to objectively quantify spasticity in an accurate and repeatable manner. The device is designed to accommodate for different limb sizes and includes an accelerometer and a force sensing resistor to obtain quantitative data. The device further includes a data acquisition module where the data collected can be processed and sent to an output device.
