Abstract

Objective To explore the effects of Botulinum toxin type A(BTX-A)on upper extremities function of children with spastic cerebral palsy.Methods27 children with spastic cerebral palsy who were treated with comprehensive rehabilitation training and BTX-A were arranged as treatment group,and other 30 children who were treated with comprehensive rehabilitation training only as control group.They were assessed with upper extremities functional test(UEFT)before and after treatment.ResultsAfter 3 months of treatment,the scores of UEFT improved more in the treatment group than in the control group(P0.01).ConclusionBTX-A can improve upper extremities function of the children with spastic cerebral palsy.
