Case Report: Combination of focal vibration therapy and botulinum toxin injections to treat equinus gait in a child with unilateral spastic cerebral palsy.
[INTRODUCTION] Focal vibration therapy (FVT) is increasingly used in the treatment of spastic paresis. In adults, it has been shown to reduce spasticity and to increase torque production from the vibrated muscles by restoring reciprocal inh…

Improved Gait and Radiological Measurements After injection of Botulinum Toxin Into Peroneus Longus in Young Children With USCP and Equinovalgus Gait.
[BACKGROUND] Children with cerebral palsy develop foot deformities due to a combination of factors including muscle shortening, hypertonia, weakness, and cocontraction of muscles acting at the ankle joint resulting in an altered gait patter…

Muscle Shortening and Spastic Cocontraction in Gastrocnemius Medialis and Peroneus Longus in Very Young Hemiparetic Children.
[OBJECTIVES] Muscle shortening and spastic cocontraction in ankle plantar flexors may alter gait since early childhood in cerebral palsy (CP). We evaluated gastrosoleus complex (GSC) length, and gastrocnemius medialis (GM) and peroneus long…

Planovalgus foot deformity in cerebral palsy corrected by botulinum toxin injection in the peroneus longus: Clinical and radiological evaluations in young children.
[BACKGROUND] In children with cerebral palsy (CP), overactivity of the peroneus longus (PL) muscle is a major contributor to pes planovalgus. This retrospective study assessed whether abobotulinumtoxinA injections into a PL showing prematur…
