[Musculoskeletal pathology in children with infantile cerebral palsy: a new classification system].
[BACKGROUND] Cerebral palsy (CP) is one of the most common causes of physical disability in childhood. While the Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS) describes motor abilities, a unified classification for musculoskeletal path…

The Non-Affected Muscle Volume Compensates for the Partial Loss of Strength after Injection of Botulinum Toxin A.
Local botulinum toxin (BTX-A, Botox) injection in overactive muscles is a standard treatment in patients with cerebral palsy. The effect is markedly reduced in children above the age of 6 to 7. One possible reason for this is the muscle vol…

Quantification and Monitoring of the Effect of Botulinum Toxin A on Paretic Calf Muscles of Children With Cerebral Palsy With MRI: A Preliminary Study.
Muscles from patients with cerebral palsy (CP) are often spastic and form contractures that limit the range of motion. Injections of botulinum toxin A (BTX) into the calf muscles are an important treatment for functional equinus; however, i…

Quantifying the velocity-dependent muscle response during gait of children with Cerebral Palsy.
A new method is introduced quantifying the velocity-dependent muscle response during gait in spastic muscles of children with Cerebral Palsy. The velocity-dependent muscle activation Index is calculated during a 3-dimensional gait analysis …
