Spasticity is considered an important neural contributor to muscle hypertonia in children with
cerebral palsy (CP). It is most often treated with antispasticity medication, such as Botulinum …

Neuroscience has fundamentally changed the understanding of learning and memory within
recent years. Here, the authors discuss a number of specific areas where they believe new …

Physics-based simulations of walking have the theoretical potential to support clinical
decision-making by predicting the functional outcome of treatments in terms of walking …

Foot drop and toe walking are frequent concerns in children with cerebral palsy. The main
underlying cause of these problems is early damage and lack of maturation of the …

How does the neural control of fine movements develop from childhood to adulthood? Here,
we investigated developmental differences in functional corticomuscular connectivity using …

Hyper-resistance at the joint is one of the most common symptoms in children with cerebral

Muscle spasticity is characterized by exaggerated stretch reflexes and affects about 85% of
the children with cerebral palsy. However, the mechanisms underlying spasticity and its …

Objective It is still not clarified whether spasticity contributes to impairments of gait function.
Here we compared biomechanical measures of muscle weakness and stiffness of ankle …

Abstract Spastic Cerebral Palsy (CP) is the most common form of CP, comprising of 80% of
