No results posted yet for this study

Summary

One of the disorders observed in children with cerebral palsy (CP) is abnormal muscle tone, and the most common tone problem is spasticity. Botulinum toxin A (BoNT-A) injections are frequently used to reduce spasticity in CP rehabilitation. BoNT-A injections can be administered as a single dose, and some patients require repeated injections. The aim of this study was to examine the effects of repeated BoNT-A applications applied to the gastrocnemius muscle of children with CP on muscle morphology and functionality.
