Summary
This study looked at whether injecting botulinum toxin into two leg muscles (rectus femoris and semitendinosus) can improve walking and reduce stiffness in children with cerebral palsy. 23 children aged 7 to 17 who could walk (with or without aids) took part. Researchers measured movement, stiffness, and walking patterns before treatment and again at 2 and 6 months after.
