Abstract:

Objective To summarize the electrophysiological indexes and scales used for evaluation of post-stroke spasticity, for integration of clinical management of spasms. Methods Literatures on identification and evaluation of post-stroke spasticity from databases of Web of Science, PubMed, CNKI, and Wanfang Data up to May 15, 2021 were retrieved and the indicators related to post-stroke spasticity were extracted for a scoping review. Results The scales of modified Asworth Scale, Comprehensive Spasticity Scale and modified Tardieu Scale; the electrophysiological indexes of F wave, H reflex, motor evoked potentials, visual-startle reaction time and vestibular evoked myogenic potentials were used to identify and evaluate post-stroke spasticity. Conclusion More clinical researches are needed to explore earlier identification and evaluation of post-stroke spasticity more objectively and accurately.
