[An electromyographic study on the development of optimal tactics of botulinum toxin type A injections in children with spastic forms of cerebral palsy].

We studied 67 children, aged 2-9 years, with cerebral palsy including 56 children with a spastic form. An electromyographic method was used for the development of optimal tactics of botulinum toxin type A injections in different clinical presentations of spasticity. The best clinical results were obtained in children with the following changes on EMG: 1) the tonic muscle activity in resting state was minimal (<10 microvolts) and had local or regional distribution; 2) the pathological synkinetic activity during voluntary movements was minimal (synergetic activity coefficient for shin muscles was less than 0.

[Development of motor functions and manual abilities in pediatric patients with spastic cerebral palsy after botulinum toxin treatment and complex rehabilitation].

Aim: To investigate the dynamic of general motor function and manual abilities in children with spastic forms of cerebral palsy (CP) after complex rehabilitation combined with single and repeated injections of botulinum toxin A (BTA).

Patients And Methods: The article presents 18 month followup of 52 patients with mono- and bilateral spastic forms of CP after single and multiple injections of botulinum toxin A and complex rehabilitation/ Patients received totally 74 injection sessions: 17 (32.7%) children--twice, 5 (9.
