Description
Summary:Investigate the effects of botulinum toxin type A (BoNT-A) combined with physical therapy on functional capacity in children with spastic cerebral palsy (CP). Twenty-four children with spastic CP were treated with either BoNT-A and physical therapy or physical therapy alone. Significant differences (   0.05) were found in the control group. BoNT-A combined with physical therapy leads to significant improvements in spasticity and functionality in children with CP within a period of three months from the onset of treatment.
