Q

Modified Ashworth Scale:
0

4

A

no muscle tone

slight tone, catch and release or minimal resistance at end range in flexion or extension

slight tone with catch followed my minimal resistance throughout remainder (less than half) of the ROM

more marked increase in muscle tone through most of ROM but affected parts move easily

considerable tone making passive motion difficult

affected part is rigid
