Objective: Spasticity in children with cerebral palsy can be managed by a spectrum of approaches, from conservative therapy, to temporary botulinum toxin A injections, to permanent transection of sensory nerves with a selective dorsal rhizotomy. This pilot study investigated whether these three tone management approaches are associated with histological and biochemical properties of the medial gastrocnemius.
Design: A convenience sample of children with cerebral palsy undergoing gastrocnemius lengthening surgery was enrolled.
