Conclusion
ln
this
study, wedesigned
a new model of spasticity andidentified
the spastictorque
of two strokeparients.
Though
the
MAS
of two patients were same, theldentified
spasticparameters
differed.
Especially,
the
musclelengthening
vetoc-ity
threshotd was suggested asthe
goodindex
ofthe
spas-tic
degree.
