To determine the prevalence, rate of underdiagnosis and undertreatment, and association with activities of daily living dependency of spasticity in a nursing home setting.
This study aimed to develop an equation model combining physical fitness and anthropometric parameters and compare its results with those of bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA)-measured lean mass (LM) using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA)-measured appendicular muscle mass (AMM) as reference.
