Skeletal muscle deformity is common in children with spastic cerebral palsy (CP), but the
underlying mechanisms are unclear. This review explores some possible factors which may …

Ambulant young people with cerebral palsy (CP) have reduced muscle volumes in their
lower limbs (as low as 50% of their weight‐matched typically‐developing peers). Yet, they …

We collected 3D ultrasound images of the medial gastrocnemius muscle belly (MG) in 16
children with spastic hemiplegic cerebral palsy (SHCP)(mean age: 7.8 years; range: 4–12) …

Ultrasound images were obtained of the medial gastrocnemius at different ankle joint
positions with the knee extended. Fascicle length and deep fascicle angle were measured in …

Children with spastic cerebral palsy (CP) have small, weak muscles. However, change in
muscle size due to resistance training in this group is unknown. We investigated the effect of …

Aim: Muscle weakness is a feature of individuals with spastic cerebral palsy (SCP) but there
are few reports in the literature of muscle volume in this group. This study compares muscle …

Background and purpose To support clinical decision‐making in central neurological
disorders, a physical examination is used to assess responses to passive muscle stretch …

Outcome in 24 ambulant children with spastic diplegic cerebral palsy, in whom multilevel
surgical intervention was recommended following gait analysis, is reviewed. Twelve children …

Background: Morphology is an important determinant of muscle force and power generation.
Children with spastic diplegic cerebral palsy (SDCP) have reduced muscular strength, which …

Expression of Na+ channel protein was analysed in established cell lines of rat and human
prostatic carcinoma origin by flow cytometry using a fluorescein‐labelled polyclonal …
