- NC = neural component, EC = elastic component, VC = viscous component, Passive ROM = passive range of motion, MAS = modified Ashworth scale, FMA-UE = Fugl-Meyer assessment of the upper extremity. Pathological values of neural, elastic and viscous components in relation to cut-off values obtained by adding three standard deviations to mean are marked (*). Grey areas highlight (i) stroke patients with NC higher than cut-off value (≥3.4 N) without clinical detection of spasticity according to MAS and (ii) stroke patients with positive MAS scores but with NC within normal limits
