Abstract
The term cerebral palsy (CP) subsumes developmental disorders, which are due to an irreversible but non-progressive disturbance of the developing brain. CP is one of the most common causes of chronic disability in childhood. The spastic form predominates by far, in its lighter manifestation usually termed bilateral, spastic CP. Children with a bilateral, spastic CP benefit, on one hand, from orthotics, which support the weak extensors, as well as procedures such as the intramuscular application of botulinum toxin, which is intended to reduce the relative overweight of flexors.
