Upper-limb range of motion in children with cerebral palsy treated with botulinum neurotoxin: a population-based cohort study
Upper limb contractures can develop during growth in children with CP affecting one third of this population. Early monitoring of pROM can detect the first signs of muscle shortening before contractures are established. Our findings suggest that early BoNT-A treatment may help maintain pROM in children with CP.
