Table 2. Key kinematic features of the pendulum test in spasticity as reported by Fowler et al. (2000).

Individuals with CP were divided in three groups based on the Modified Ashworth Score (MAS) of the quadriceps.

MAS First swing
excursion
Number of

Resting
angle
Healthy 1 136.2o ± 12.4o 8.0 ± 1.1 84.7o ± 4.1o
CP–no spasticity 1 101.4o ± 21.0o 5.6 ± 1.5 81.9o ± 5.2o
CP–mild spasticity 2 or 3 77.2o ± 23.8o 4.2 ± 1.3 73.6o ± 9.3o
CP–severe spasticity >3 44.1o ± 12.2o 4.0 ± 1.2 69.5o ± 11.1o
