Botulinum toxin type A injection increases range of motion in hip, knee and ankle joint contractures of children with cerebral palsy.

CONCLUSION: Botulinum toxin type A injection increases ROM in hip, knee and ankle joint contractures in CP. Although age, gender and functional level may influence the clinical outcomes, pre-treatment level of contracture is the main determinant in improvement in ROM at post-injection.
