Table 7. MDC for the spasticity-related parameters of the medial hamstrings (MedHam), and the average difference of those parameters between pre and post treatment with Botulinum Toxin-A (BTX) as previously reported [26].

IntraBS, intra-rater between session; InterWS, inter-rater within session; rms-EMG, root mean squared electromyography; HV-LV, difference between stretches at high velocity and stretches at low velocity; AOC, Angle of Catch. Numbers in bold reflect values larger than their corresponding intra- or inter-rater MDC.
