Authors: Hayek S, Gershon A, Wientroub S, Yizhar Z Our aim was to evaluate the effect of adding inhibitory casting to the treatment of young children with cerebral palsy who received injections of botulinum neurotoxin A (BoNT-A) to gastrocnemius for equinus gait. Of the 20 patients in the series, 11 in group A had inhibitory casts applied on the day of the first set of BoNT-A injections and nine in group B did not have casting. Both groups received another BoNT-A injection four months later. The patients were followed for eight months and examined at five intervals. Both groups showed significant improvement in gait parameters and function (p < 0.0001) and selective motor control (p = 0.041, - 0.036) throughout the study. Group A had significantly better passive dorsiflexion of the ...
