Özet

Background: To show whether mechanics of activated spastic muscle are representative of the functional deficiencies clearly apparent in the joints, our goal was to test the following hypotheses: (1) The muscle's joint range of force exertion is narrow, and (2) high muscle forces are available at low muscle length.
