Quantification of long-term effects of botulinum injection in a case of cerebral palsy affecting the upper limb movement.

Objective: The aim of this work was to put into evidence the long-lasting modification induced by botulinum toxin injection and rehabilitative treatment on motor control.

Methods: In this contribution, we report the case of a female child showing hemiplegia, due to cerebral palsy. She underwent botulinum injection, followed by physical and occupational therapy.

Movement analysis and EEG recordings in children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy.

Impaired hand function is often the most disabling symptom in children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy (CP). Literature provides a wide number of studies dealing either with the kinematics or the cerebral correlates of the impairment. Nevertheless, few studies exist merging both aspects together.
