Σύνοψη	The Modified Ashworth Scale (MAS) is a clinical rating scale for assessing muscle spasticity, quantifying the resistance to passive movement on a 0-4 scale plus an additional grade. Originally developed by B. Ashworth in 1964 and refined by Bohannon and Smith in 1987, the MAS is the most widely used bedside tool for evaluating spasticity in stroke survivors, individuals with cerebral palsy, multiple sclerosis, and spinal cord injury.	Neuromuscular re-education is a therapeutic approach using targeted exercise and sensory feedback to retrain motor control, proprioception, and movement patterns following neurological injury or dysfunction. Based on motor learning principles, neuromuscular re-education helps patients reestablish voluntary muscle activation, coordination, and functional movement through repetition, feedback, and progressive challenge.
