| Outline of Research at the Start |
Spasticity is a common symptom affecting patients with lesions in the central nervous system, causing muscle stiffness that may lead to a lack of coordination and limb deformities, impairing the patient's quality of life (QOL). Focal vibration has shown positive effects by reducing muscle tone and improving proprioception.
The goal of this research is to develop a system for understanding the relationship between spasticity and vibration under multiple scenarios, developing a non-invasive tool for spasticity modulation that can ease the symptoms of spasticity and improve the QOL of patients.
