A patent has been issued for a device and method to assess hand flexion tone. The device, called the Isometric Force Pillow (IFP), measures static flexion force from the fingers to provide a quantitative measure of involuntary finger grip due to spastic hypertonia. The IFP can be used to evaluate hand flexion caused by muscle tone, hypertonia, spastic hypertonia, the flexion synergy, or contractures. It consists of an inflatable pillow that is wrapped around the hand and connected to an air pressure sensor, which converts the air pressure changes into therapeutic meaningful values. The device could be used to assess the effectiveness of interventions for relieving hypertonia. [Extracted from the article]
