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: A pilot study was orchestrated with probands diagnosed with spastic paraplegia due to an incomplete spinal cord lesion. Seven probands have partaken in the study (5 men and 2 women) aged 49 ± 8 years. All probands were clients of Centrum Paraple, where they have been undergoing a regular rehabilitation programme. In addition to their regular programme they have undergone a virtual reality therapeutic programme, where each intervention consisted of 10 minutes spent in a therapeutic virtual environment. 3 probands resigned after the first intervention. Interventions were organized into 5 consecutive days. The levels of spasticity were evaluated by a modified Tardieu scale on plantar flexors of both ankles 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...
