Comprehensive evaluation of gait, spasticity, and muscle morphology: A case report of a child with spastic paresis treated with Botulinum NeuroToxin‐A, serial casting, and physiotherapy

Comprehensive instrumented muscle and joint assessments should be considered when prescribing Botulinum NeuroToxin‐A (BoNT‐A) treatment in spastic paresis. In a child with spastic paresis, comprehensive evaluation following treatment with BoNT‐A, serial casting, and physiotherapy showed that short‐t...

Sumario:Comprehensive instrumented muscle and joint assessments should be considered when prescribing Botulinum NeuroToxin‐A (BoNT‐A) treatment in spastic paresis. In a child with spastic paresis, comprehensive evaluation following treatment with BoNT‐A, serial casting, and physiotherapy showed that short‐term improvements in gait occurred without changes in muscle morphology. Rather, foot flexibility increased.
