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…

The effect of selective dorsal rhizotomy on the improvement of the quality of life of children with stage GMFCS IV and V cerebral palsy: Pain, nursing, positioning, and dressing.
[AIM] The objective of this study is to evaluate the benefit of selective dorsal rhizotomy on the quality of life of patients with severe spasticity with significant impairment of gross motor functions (GMFCS stages IV and V) according to 4…

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…

Validity, reliability and responsiveness to change of the French version of the drooling impact scale.
[BACKGROUND] work still needs to be done to measure the impact of sialorrhea on quality of life and define the efficacy of different therapies. The Drooling Impact Scale showed good validity and sensitivity to change, especially after botul…

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…

Infant botulism: Two case reports and electroneuromyogram findings.
Botulism is an uncommon severe neuromuscular disorder. We report two recent cases of confirmed infant botulism diagnosed in an 11-week and a 5-month-old infant along with electroneuromyogram (ENMG) findings. Then, we discuss the EMG feature…

Management of drooling in children with cerebral palsy: A French survey.
[AIM] To characterise children with cerebral palsy (CP) and pathological drooling in France, and to describe care pathways, assessment and treatment. [METHOD] A transversal, observational, descriptive survey of the practices and opinions o…

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…
