简要总结
Muscle atrophy may occur in individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI) as a result of diminished physical activity and alterations in glucose metabolism and body composition may be seen. In a few studies, it has been suggested that spasticity may have a positive impact on glucose metabolism by preventing muscle atrophy and alterations in body composition in individuals with motor complete SCI. Investigators aimed to assess the effects of spasticity on glucose metabolism and body composition in participants with complete and incomplete SCI.
详细描述
Investigators plan a prospective clinical trial. Participants with SCI were included to study if times from injury were at least one year. Participants had an AIS grades of A-D with spasticity. We evaluated that participants with AIS A and B SCI were motor complete group, AIS C and D SCI were motor incomplete group. Spasticity was assessed with Modified Ashworth Scale (MAS) and spasms were assessed with Penn Spasm Frequency Scale (PSFS). Hip adductor and extensor spasticity, knee extensor and flexor spasticity and ankle plantar flexor spasticity were assessed by using MAS. Body composition was measured by dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry. All participants underwent a 75 gram (g) oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT). Insulin sensitivity was assessed by calculating Matsuda index and HOMA-IR. Investigators assessed the effects of spasticity on glucose metabolism and body composition in participants with SCI.

主要结局
Correlation Between Knee Flexor Muscle Modified Ashworth Scale and Insulin Sensitivity
时间窗: One day
We used the Matsuda index to assess insulin sensitivity. Matsuda index was calculated 10.000/square root (Fasting plasma glucose x fasting plasma insulin) x (mean OGTT glucose concentration X mean OGTT insulin concentration) formula. Higher scores mean better. Modified Ashworth Scale is used to assess muscle spasticity on a 6-point scale. 0: No increase in muscle tone 4: Affected part(s) is (are) rigid in flexion or extension. Higher scores mean a worse outcome. Pearson correlation was used to calculate the correlation coefficient (r).
Correlation Between Penn Spasm Frequency Scale and Insulin Resistance
时间窗: One day
Penn Spasm Frequency Scale is used to assess spasms. This scale is a 5-point scale. Higher scores mean a worse outcome. HOMA index is a simple, and inexpensive method used for evaluating insulin sensitivity. In most of the studies, values \>2.7 were accepted as insulin resistance. HOMA-IR was calculated by using fasting plasma glucose (mg/dL) X fasting insulin (uIU/mL) /405 formula. Pearson correlation was used to calculate the correlation coefficient (r).

Correlation Between Knee Flexor Muscle Modified Ashworth Scale and Total Body Fat-Free Mass%
时间窗: One day
The body composition of the individuals was measured by dual-energy absorptiometry (DXA) device. Modified Ashworth Scale is used to assess muscle spasticity on a 6-point scale. 0: No increase in muscle tone 4: Affected part(s) is (are) rigid in flexion or extension. Higher scores mean a worse outcome. Pearson correlation was used to calculate correlation coefficient.
