Modified Ashworth Scale EXPLAINED [with Demonstrations]

The video tutorial explains the Modified Ashworth Scale (MAS), a tool used to assess muscle resistance to passive range of motion, primarily for spasticity evaluation. It is widely used for conditions like spinal cord injury, stroke, and cerebral palsy. The tutorial details how to assess spasticity in various muscles, such as the biceps brachii and quadriceps, and explains the scoring system from 0 to 4, with 0 indicating no spasticity and 4 indicating rigidity. Each score level is demonstrated, highlighting the differences in muscle tone and resistance.

What does a score of 1 indicate on the Modified Ashworth Scale?

Explain the difference between a score of 1 and a score of 1 Plus.

What characterizes a score of 4 on the Modified Ashworth Scale?
