TITLE:

PENDULUM TEST USING INERTIAL SENSOR TO INVESTIGATE MUSCLE TONUS IN PEOPLE WITH STROKE

KEY WORDS:

Stroke, Muscle tone, spasticity

SUMMARY:

The evaluation of tone reveals deficiencies in neuromusculoskeletal functions related to movement that better direct people's motor recovery after stroke injuries. This study aimed to explore the pendulum test using inertial sensors, intending to improve the technology for the diagnosis of stroke deficiencies and their repercussions on muscle tone. We carried out an evaluation model of passive stiffness in the affected upper limb in post-stroke people, chronic phase, using the inertial sensor during the pendulum test, correlating it with the Fugl Meyer (FM), Modified Ashworth Score (MAS) and Motor Activity Log (MAL) scales, in search of parameters that help with the differentiation of stiffness and spasticity. The results show that the FM scale is significantly correlated with natural frequency (p = 0.024). The amount of use MAL score correlates with natural frequency (p = 0.024). The variables E1 amp, F1 amp, IR, and ERI did not correlate with the clinical scales, but they correlated with each other; the variable E1 amp correlates with F1 amp (p = 0.024) and IR (p = 0.024), while F1 amp correlates with ERI (p = 0.024). There was also a correlation between natural frequency and K (r = 0.96, p = 0.003). Nonlinear results were found for the elbow joint properties during the pendulum test, which may be due to the presence of neural and non-neural factors. These results can serve as a reference for future studies if alternative scales do not provide an accurate reflection
