- Abstract: Spastic-paralysis impacts the function of upper extremity in most apoplexy patients.Assessing spasticity condition precisely,timely and effectively plays an important role in guiding rehabilitation treatment,therapeutic evaluation and prognosis of functional outcome.Owing to the limitations of subjective scales,the issue of quantifing the spasticity objectively has become a new research direction in recent years.By reviewing the literatures,we summed up the application of objective assessment tools,which were based on rehabilitation engineering,electrophysiology or biomechanics,in assessing the function of upper extremity with spastic paralysis,as well as put forward the research directions of prospects,in order to give a reference to the systematic integration of assessment tools in the near future.
