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. Twenty-three children aged 7 to 17 who could walk (with or without aids) took part. Researchers measured movement, stiffness, and walking ability before treatment and again at 2 and 6 months after injections.
