NCT00133861

Brief Summary

The aim of the study is to confirm the functional improvement obtained through treatment of spasticity on 2 agonist and antagonist muscles. The hypothesis is that treatment of both muscles gives a better and longer functional improvement than treatment of only one muscle. The target muscles are the rectus femoris and semitendinosus and the treatment is botulinum toxin. Clinical assessment (passive range of motion of the lower limbs, spasticity level, functional scales and subjective feeling) and gait analysis data (kinematics and kinetics data) are collected. Evaluations take place before treatment, 2 months and 6 months after treatment.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Clinical evaluation of the passive range of motion of the lower limbs

Interventions

Eligibility Criteria

Age7 Years - 17 Years
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsChild (0-17)

You may qualify if:

  • Patients between 7 to 17 years old
  • Cerebral palsy children with walking ability (even with crutch or knee-walker) allowing gait analysis.
  • Patients with functional status allowing the use of botulinum toxin on target muscles.

You may not qualify if:
