Objective analysis of muscle spasticity level in rehabilitation assessment

In current practice, the assessment of upper limb spasticity is subjectively evaluated based on the experience and perception of therapists. This leads to inconsistency in assessment and could affect the efficacy of rehabilitation process. Thus, the aims of this paper are to study and extract rele...
