Abstract
This paper presents the objective and quantitative measurement of muscle stiffness described by Rack and Lehmann. This method allows analysis of the pathophysiological mechanism of spasticity and assessment of anti-spastic treatment. This is illustrated by a case report, showing the objective effect of intrathecally administered baclofen in a spastic patient.
