Title: Evaluation of the spasticity level in wheelchair bound individuals, observing movement in a virtual reality environment Objective: Investigate whether people watching movement in virtual reality, experience changes in the level of spasticity due to intervention of the therapeutic programme. Methods: Two case studies were orchestrated, both of probands diagnosed with spastic paraplegia due to an incomplete spinal cord lesion. Both probands did undergo a therapeutic programme in virtual reality, where each intervention consisted of 30 minutes in said programme. Interventions were organised in 10 consecutive days in the case of the first proband and 5 consecutive days in the case of the second. The levels of spasticity before and after each intervention were taken into account and evaluated by a modified Tardieu scale on plantar flexors of both ankle and knee joints of both lower limbs. Furthermore, a modified, subjective spasticity scale was created in order to observe individual, subjective inputs of each proband. Using this scale, probands evaluated their feelings towards individual spasticity changes on a scale 1-10 (0 = no spasticity, 10 = unbearable spasticity sensations). This evaluation took place before and after each individual intervention. Results: Seven hypotheses were defined in...
