Yet, the clinical implementation of this method remains limited. The goal of our study was to develop an objective and portable system to assess knee extensor spasticity during the pendulum test using inertial measurement units (IMU).<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>Spasticity was quantified by measuring the first swing angle (FSA) using a 3-dimensional optical tracking system (with external markers over the iliotibial band, lateral knee epicondyle, and lateral malleolus) and two wireless IMUs (positioned over the iliotibial band and mid-part of the lower leg) as well as a clinical exam (Modified Ashworth Scale, MAS).<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>Measurements were taken on separate days to assess test\u2013retest reliability and device agreement in humans with and without SCI.

FSA values from the IMU-based system showed excellent agreement with the optical tracking system in individuals with SCI (ICC\u2009&gt;\u20090.98) and good agreement in controls (ICC\u2009&gt;\u20090.82), excellent test\u2013retest reliability across days in SCI (ICC\u2009=\u20090.93) and good in controls (ICC\u2009=\u20090.87).
