Abstract

Objective To evaluate the effect of Botulinum Toxin A(BTX-A) on spastic diplegia by surface electromyography(sEMG).Methods 50 children with cerebral palsy following spastic diplegia were recruited and injected with BTX-A in triceps surae.They were as-sessed with the clinical test and the sEMG before and after the treatment.Results After the treatment,the integrated electromyogra-phy(iEMG) of triceps surae and foot dorsiflexion angle all decreased.Conclusion sEMG is an objective tool to assess the change of spastici-ty in children with diplegia after BTX-A injection.
