نویسندگان
چکیده
The article provides general information on botulinum therapy in treating spastic forms of cerebral palsy; a review of modern botulinum toxin A drugs’ injection precision control methods at spasticity and other pathologic states is given; advantages and disadvantages of each injection control method are analyzed in detail. Special attention is paid to the substantiated choice of the injection control method in pediatric practice; muscles of the highest degree of complexity for botulinum therapy at spastic forms of cerebral palsy are described. The authors’ observations and results of applying ultrasound botulinum toxin A drugs’ injection control at different spasticity patterns in children are given.

Influence of Botulinum Toxin Therapy on Postural Control and Lower Limb Intersegmental Coordination in Children with Spastic Cerebral Palsy
Botulinum toxin injections may significantly improve lower limb kinematics in gait of children with spastic forms of cerebral palsy. Here we aimed to analyze the effect of lower limb botulinum toxin injections on trunk postural control and lower limb intralimb (intersegmental) coordination in children with spastic diplegia or spastic hemiplegia (GMFCS I or II). We recorded tridimensional trunk ...

BACKGROUND Intramuscular injection of botulinum toxin type-A given by manual intramuscular needle placement in the lower extremity under general anaesthesia is an established treatment and standard of care in managing spasticity in children with spastic cerebral palsy. Optimal needle placement is essential. However, reports of injection and verification techniques used in previous studies have ...

BACKGROUND Use of Botulinum toxin-A (BoNT-A) for treatment of upper limb spasticity in children with cerebral palsy has become routine clinical practice in many paediatric treatment centres worldwide. There is now high-level evidence that upper limb BoNT-A injection, in combination with occupational therapy, improves outcomes in children with cerebral palsy at both the body function/structure a...
