Validation of the pendulum test in the assessment of muscle tone in persons with cerebral palsy

Cerebral palsy (CP) is often accompanied by motor limitations, abnormal movements and spasticity. Precise and reproducible assessment of spasticity is essential for the selection and follow up of the therapeutic protocol. We used a new instrument from the company 3F—Fit Fabricando Faber comprising inertial measurement units at the shank and thigh, and two EMG recording units to record electromyographic signals from the hamstrings and quadriceps muscles. The study included 48 subjects diagnosed with cerebral palsy. We performed a pendulum test on each subject three times. The analysis of results showed that the new measure based on the PT recordings is highly correlated with the muscle tone in CP patients, and automatically distinguishes the type of spasticity (flexion or extension), relaxation rate and spasticity strength. The new measure showed sensitivity of the PT and indicates great potential of using the PT in the protocols for better control of spasticity in CP patients.
