New Device Offers Reliable Way to Measure Muscle Stiffness After Stroke

Researchers have validated a handheld device called NeuroFlexor that accurately measures spasticity—muscle rigidity that commonly affects stroke survivors. The tool could standardize how clinicians assess patient recovery and track whether treatments work, potentially improving rehabilitation outcomes and reducing guesswork in treatment decisions.
