diplegic spastic Cerebral palsy

Cerebral palsy characterized with onset in infancy or early childhood and characterized by MUSCLE SPASTICITY in the legs. The arm muscles are usually not affected. It is caused by damage to the brain area that controls movement due to genetic abnormalities, brain malformations, prenatal trauma, or infection.

Drugs and Biologics

Drugs and Important Biological Agents (IBA) related to diplegic spastic Cerebral palsy:

1.	Type A Botulinum Toxins (Botox)FDA Link 11/01/2007 - "Adjuvant electrical stimulation for a short period after botulinum toxin A injection was found to benefit early improvement of range of motion and maintenance of gait improvement in children with spastic diplegia cerebral palsy showing dynamic equinus."
2.	Indicators and Reagents (Reagents)IBA 01/01/2004 - "The aim of this study was to assess whether the Energy Expenditure Index (EEI), based on heart rate (HR) adjusted for speed, was a clinical indicator of the Oxygen Consumption Index (OCI), oxygen consumption (VO(2)) adjusted for speed, during self-paced walking in children with spastic diplegia cerebral palsy (CP) and children without physical disabilities (ND). "
3.	Coenzyme A (CoA)IBA 01/01/2023 - "The purpose of this study was to investigate the differences in the muscle activity and co-activation index (CoA) of the rectus femoris (RF), biceps femoris (BF), gastrocnemius medialis (GM,) and tibialis anterior (TA) during walking on land and in water in healthy adolescents compared with those with spastic diplegia cerebral palsy (CP) adolescents. "

Therapies and Procedures
