| 0 | No catch on rapid passive movement (RPM) [i.e. no spasticity]. |
| 1 | Catch occurs on RPM followed by release. There is no resistance to RPM throughout rest of range. |
| 2 | Catch occurs in second half of available range (after halfway point) during PRM and is followed by resistance throughout remaining range. |
| 3 | Catch occurs in first half of available range (up to and including halfway point) during RPM and is followed by resistance throughout the remaining range. |
| 4 | When attempting RPM, the body part appears fixed but moves on slow passive movement. |
