Summary
This study tested whether injecting botulinum toxin into two leg muscles (rectus femoris and semitendinosus) improves movement and reduces stiffness in children with cerebral palsy. Twenty-three children aged 7 to 17 who could walk participated. Researchers measured leg motion, spasticity, and walking patterns before treatment and at 2 and 6 months after. The goal was to see if treating both muscles together provides better and longer-lasting functional improvement than treating just one.
