Summary
This completed study used ultrasound to look at the shape and structure of spastic muscles in the arms and legs of 80 stroke survivors. The goal was to see if ultrasound can help doctors better understand and measure muscle changes after stroke. The findings may improve how spasticity is assessed and guide future rehabilitation.
