Summary

Muscles, paretics and spastics, of cerebral palsy children have very early, for growth (three at five aged), every alteration of theirs properties. Gastrocnemius muscle, often reaches on the cerebral palsy, characterised by a modification of the structure (volume decrease) and the elasticity (increase of the passive stiffness). Every alterations of the muscular property have impact clinic and functional important. The many treatments of orthopaedic targeting (lengthening of cast, injections of botulinic toxin), repeated to a multiple recovery during the growth influences the muscular characteristics. There is a real interest to measure the muscular property development during children's growth.
