Muscle spasticity is a primary cause of disability in children with cerebral palsy; however their muscles also do not develop properly: they are weak and resistant to stretch. This study will examine the precise muscle adaptations that occur due to spasticity using innovative ultrasound techniques and motion analysis. The influence of BOTOX treatment and orthopaedic surgery on muscle structure and function will be evaluated. This research will translate into better intervention planning.

肌肉痉挛是脑瘫儿童残疾的主要原因;然而，他们的肌肉也不能正常发育：他们虚弱且难以伸展。本研究将使用创新的超声技术和运动分析来检查由于痉挛而发生的精确肌肉适应。将评估BOTOX治疗和骨科手术对肌肉结构和功能的影响。这项研究将转化为更好的干预计划。
