The pendulum test as a tool to evaluate passive knee stiffness and viscosity of patients with rheumatoid arthritis

BACKGROUND: The pendulum test of Wartenberg is a technique commonly used to measure passive knee motion with the aim to assess spasticity. We used this test to evaluate changes of the knee angular displacement, passive stiffness and viscosity in rheumatoid arthritis patients. Stiffness and viscosity...
