Introduction. Pressure pain threshold has been quantified by using a gold standard algometer in patients with bruxism. How-ever, the expense associated with quantifying pressure pain threshold to detect trigger points with a gold standard algometer precludes its use in the clinic. This study aimed to measure the reliability and validity of the more accessible Egyptian algometer for pressure pain threshold evaluation in patients with bruxism. Methods. A descriptive repeated-measures study was performed among 100 participants with bruxism. Pressure pain threshold values were collected from the left temporalis, right temporalis, left masseter, and right masseter muscles with the participants sitting. Pressure pain thresholds were assessed over 2 sessions separated by a 1-week interval. Results. intraclass correlation coefficient (iCC) determined the intra-rater reliability and Pearson correlation analysis deter- mined the validity of the Egyptian algometer. iCC equalled 0.878, 0.785, 0.896, and 0.903 for the right masseter, left masseter, right temporalis, and left temporalis muscles, respectively. The standard error of measurement ranged from 0.24 to 0.5, the minimal detectable difference ranged from 0.66 to 1.41, iCC ranged from 0.785 to 0.903. Pearson correlation values were 0.673, 0.670, 0.408, and 0.705 for the right masseter, left masseter, right temporalis, and left temporalis muscles, respectively. Conclusions. High iCCs indicated a strong agreement between the measurement systems, suggesting that the Egyptian algometer is a reliable and valid device for quantification of pressure pain threshold in patients with

Introduction. Hand spasticity after stroke is a serious issue and may lead to hygiene problems, range of motion limitations, or contractures. Hand splints are often used to reduce spasticity and prevent movement limitations; however, there is little research available on the efficacy of splints in spasticity. The study aimed to investigate the efficacy of a reflex inhibitory splint (RiS) for upper extremity spasticity in stroke patients by using clinical and electrophysiological studies. Methods. Stroke patients with elbow and hand spasticity were allocated into 2 groups. The splint group ( n = 16) wore RiS. The control group ( n = 13) did not wear any upper extremity splint. Both groups received the same rehabilitation program during this period. They were evaluated for motion in the upper extremity with the Brunnstrom scale and Fugl-Meyer upper extremity scale. Electrophysiological measurements showing motor neuron excitability such as the ratio between the maximum amplitude of H-reflex and the maximum amplitude of M-response (H max /M max ratio), H-reflex latency, and F-wave persistence and latency were also studied. All clinical and electrophysiological measurements were performed in both groups on days 0 and 15. Results. At the end of the treatment, elbow and finger flexion tonus decreased and active wrist extension angle increased in the splint treatment group compared with both baseline and the control group. Compared with the pre-treatment status, a correlation was detected between the H max /M max ratio and the wrist flexion tonus in the splint group. Conclusions. RiS may be useful for the management of post-stroke upper-limb spasticity.
介绍。中风后的手部痉挛是一个严重的问题，可能导致卫生问题、活动范围限制或挛缩。手部夹板常用于减少痉挛和防止活动限制;然而，关于夹板治疗痉挛的有效性的研究很少。本研究旨在通过临床和电生理研究探讨反射抑制夹板(RiS)治疗脑卒中患者上肢痉挛的疗效。方法。脑卒中伴手肘痉挛患者分为两组。夹板组(n = 16)佩戴RiS。对照组(n = 13)不佩戴任何上肢夹板。在此期间，两组都接受了相同的康复计划。采用Brunnstrom量表和Fugl-Meyer上肢量表评估上肢运动。我们还研究了显示运动神经元兴奋性的电生理测量，如H反射的最大振幅与M反应的最大振幅之比(H max /M max比值)、H反射潜伏期、f波持续时间和潜伏期。两组均于第0天和第15天进行临床和电生理检查。结果。治疗结束时，与基线和对照组相比，夹板治疗组肘关节和手指屈曲张力减少，手腕主动伸角增加。与治疗前比较，夹板组hmax / mmax比值与腕屈曲张力呈正相关。结论。RiS可能对中风后上肢痉挛的治疗有用。
