BACKGROUND The use of botulinum toxin A (BT-A) for the treatment of lower limb spasticity is common in children with cerebral palsy (CP). Following the administration of BT-A, physical therapy plays a fundamental role in potentiating the functionality of the child. The balance deficit found in children with CP is mainly caused by muscle imbalance (spastic agonist and weak antagonist). Neuromusc...

That India forms a fruitful field for medicolegal observations is somewhat a trite saying to those who know the country, and is obviously proved by the rich storehouses of facts accumulated in the numerous series of reports, papers, and text-books dealing with Medical Jurisprudence in India. In France the names of Orfila and Tardieu have been held in great repute. Chevers in India corresponds t...

In 2012, Guida, Gobet, Tardieu and Nicolas proposed a two-stage framework to explain how cognitive changes due to practice could shape experts’ brain physiologically and thus explain neuroimaging data of expertise acquisition. In this paper, after presenting the motivations for such a framework and the framework itself, we examine the idea that functional cerebral reorganization (FCR) could be ...

Abstract Background In the current study, we applied a combination of non-invasive neuromodulation modalities concurrently with multiple stimulating electrodes. Specifically, used transcranial pulsed stimulation (tPCS) and transcutaneous electrical nerve (TENS) as novel strategy for improving lower limb spasticity in children spastic cerebral palsy (SCP) categorized on levels III–V Gross Motor ...
