Abstract
The gait is a central function in the neuropsychological development of the normal child and in neuromotor diseases such as PCI. Spasticity is a major problem that prevents the development of motor functions remaining in these patients, thus producing a limited participation in recreational and sports activities and social activities. The synergistic action of the FET and the BTX-A can be a valuable aid, as the transient inhibition of muscle spasticity, can allow the subject to learn to reorganize through the rehabilitation intervention movement in a different way, in order to reduce the functional limitations in the lower limbs allowing a greater motor skills and thus a better quality of life.
Highlights
IntroductionThe Cerebral Palsy is pathological form of developmental age that can be defined as a “Persistent disorder but not immutable posture and movement, due to an alteration of organic and nonprogressive brain function, for reasons pre, or for post-natal, before the complete the growth and development” (Spastic Society, Berlin 1996) [1,2,3]
The gait is a central function in the neuropsychological development of the normal child and in neuromotor diseases such as PCI
The aim of this work is to demonstrate the effectiveness of combination therapy among botulinum toxin, and a physiotherapy, in the motor recovery of lower limbs, resulting in improved living conditions in individuals with cerebral palsy
Summary
The Cerebral Palsy is pathological form of developmental age that can be defined as a “Persistent disorder but not immutable posture and movement, due to an alteration of organic and nonprogressive brain function, for reasons pre, or for post-natal, before the complete the growth and development” (Spastic Society, Berlin 1996) [1,2,3] It is a serious disease both in terms of clinical complications and for the social and human implications, there is often a whole host of physical, sensitive, intellectual and psychological abnormalities, individually or in combination with each other. The reduction spastic hypertonia allows small patients to be more efficient on the functional level and achieve, compatibly with the lesions of the base, a certain degree of autonomy
