Children with cerebral palsy are increasingly being injected with botulinum toxin A (BTX/A). This is intended to make the muscles less active. The treatment is intended to improve motor skills, alleviate pain or make care easier. Studies have shown that it is a good treatment for dynamic pointed foot. In combination with other therapies, BTX/A is a useful method for treating spastic movement disorders in children.
