About the trial
What the trial wants to find out
This study aimed to check and compare the effects of botulinum toxin injection combined with shock wave therapy versus botulinum toxin injection only for lower extremity spasticity in children with cerebral palsy
The 2 groups in the trial
- Botulinum Toxin Injection and Conventional TherapyNo study treatment, for comparison
The group received conventional therapy (such as stretching exercises) after Botulinum Toxin Type A Injection for spastic lower extremity muscle groups.
- Botulinum Toxin Injection and Shockwave TherapyExisting treatment, for comparison
The group received extracorporeal shockwave therapy conventional therapy (such as stretching exercises). Shockwave therapy is planned 3 sessions, starting first week after injection. It is planned to apply 1500 pulses, 4 hertz, 2 bars radial eswt to the injected spastic muscle groups in each session. The patients in this group will continue to their conventional therapy like the first group.
Treatment: Radial Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy
