The aim of the clinical study, conducted by researchers at the University of Auckland in New Zealand, was to determine the effects of long-term (20 weeks) whole-body vibration on muscle and bone health, motor performance and quality of life in young adults with mild to moderate cerebral palsy. The effect of vibration for 20 weeks […]
Cerebral palsy (CP) contributes to permanent but not unchanging physical disability in childhood and adolescence. Although children with CP show some age-dependent gross motor and gait development, CP-induced muscle paresis and spasticity lead to bone deformation, loss of muscle volume, contractures, and patient dependence on care. Since there are reports that gait training can improve […]
In this study, Belgian scientists reviewed studies examining the effect of various therapies on the macroscopic morphology of the muscles and tendons of the lower limbs in children with spastic cerebral palsy (CP). They analyzed the effects of, among others, whole-body vibration (WBV), which is often used to reduce muscle tension (spasticity), improve posture control, […]
In the symptomatic treatment of many neuromuscular diseases (such as in the case of excessive, abnormal muscle tone, spasticity, torticollis, clubfoot, cerebral palsy or multiple sclerosis) injection of botulinum neurotoxin (BoNT) is used. BoNT lowers muscle tension. In order to achieve sustained improvement, in many cases repeated injections and high doses of BoNT must be […]
