Examining muscle structure and function assists in understanding movement. This research will develop non-invasive ultrasound imaging techniques allowing muscle fibre visualisation and assessment of muscle properties during passive length changes and active force production. We will compare structure and function of spastic muscle in children with cerebral palsy and typically developing muscle. The effects of Botox injections on spastic muscle properties will also be investigated.

检查肌肉结构和功能有助于理解运动。这项研究将开发非侵入性超声成像技术，使肌肉纤维可视化，并在被动长度变化和主动力量产生期间评估肌肉特性。我们将比较脑性瘫痪儿童和典型发育肌肉的痉挛肌肉的结构和功能。还将研究注射肉毒杆菌对痉挛肌肉特性的影响。
