About this calculator
The Ashworth Modified Scale Calculator is a useful tool for assessing muscle spasticity in patients with neurological diseases. It allows healthcare professionals to measure muscle resistance and identify the degree of spasticity.
The formula used by the calculator is the Ashworth Scale, which ranges from 0 to 4+, where 0 indicates no spasticity and 4+ indicates severe spasticity. The scale is divided into four levels: 0 (no spasticity), 1 (easy resistance), 2 (moderate resistance), 3 (difficult resistance) and 4+ (high resistance).
This calculator is particularly useful for healthcare professionals who need to assess muscle spasticity in patients with neurological diseases, such as multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease and brain injury. It helps identify the degree of spasticity and establish an appropriate treatment plan.
