[Botulinum toxin treatment in children with cerebral palsy].

Conclusion: Our study strengthens the observation that botox treatment of the spastic calf muscle together with plaster casting can result in improved ankle dorsiflexion. Multilevel botox treatment can improve lower limb joints range of motion, however, gait pattern remains unchanged. The administration of botulinum toxin with respect to the guidelines has no major adverse effects. Further studies are needed to clarify the observed beneficial associate effects of the toxin.
