The relationship between spasticity in young children (18 months of age) with cerebral palsy and their gross motor function development

Table 3 Classification of spasticity applied to the obtained data in this study.

Level of spasticity	Score	Cut-off points for the angle of spasticity (R1) in our group (in degrees per muscle group)	Range
ADDUCTORS		Abduction
No spasticity	0	61.>
Probable spasticity	1	60-51	1 SD (Right:10.0 Left:10.1)
Definite spasticity	2	≤ 50
HAMSTRINGS		Popliteal angle
No spasticity	0	0-20
Probable spasticity	1	21-40	1 SD (Right: 17.7, Left: 18.0)
Definite spasticity	2	≥ 41
GASTROCNEMIUS		Ankle-foot position
No spasticity	0	11 - 50 dorsiflexion
Probable spasticity	1	10 dorsiflexion - (-5)plantarflexion	1 SD (Right 13.4, Left: 13.0)
Definite spasticity	2	≤ (-5) plantarflexion

Data based on spasticity (R1 angle) per muscle group from young children with cerebral palsy.
