Comprehensive instrumented muscle and joint assessments should be considered when prescribing Botulinum NeuroToxin‐A (BoNT‐A) treatment in spastic paresis. In a child with spastic paresis, comprehensive evaluation following treatment with BoNT‐A, serial casting, and physiotherapy showed that short‐term improvements in gait occurred without changes in muscle morphology. Rather, foot flexibility increased.

A comparison of 3D ultrasound to MRI for the measurement and estimation of gastrocnemius muscle volume in adults and young people with and without cerebral palsy

Muscle volume (MV) is an important parameter for understanding muscle morphology and adaptations to training, growth and pathology. In this study, we assessed the validity of freehand 3D ultrasound (3DUS) for measuring medial gastrocnemius MV in adults, typically developing (TD) children and children with cerebral palsy (CP). We also assessed the validity between our direct measures of MV and estimates derived from anatomical cross sectional area (ACSA) and muscle length (ML), using previously outlined methods. The medial gastrocnemius of all groups was scanned with 3DUS and MRI. Images from both methods were digitized to derive MV, ACSA and ML. Measured MV was compared between methods and compared to estimated MV derived from recently published algorithms. MV had a mean difference of −0.13% (standard error of estimate (SEE) = 2.23%, R 2 = 0.99) between MRI and 3DUS and 19.82% (SEE = 4.73% and R 2 = 0.99) and −3.11% (SEE = 6.55%, R 2 = 0.99) mean differences between the measured and estimated MV from two methods of estimation. The 3DUS is a valid method for the measurement of MV in adults, TD children and those with CP. Estimation methods of MV may be useful in clinical practice, but require further replication on various populations and careful methodological consideration.

We developed an innovative gel pad that covers the entire lower leg to remove artifacts due to the pressure of the transducer in freehand 3‐dimensional ultrasonography. In comparison to the reference method in water, this study showed that this new method was valid (bias, 3.4 mL; limit of agreement, 7.7 mL for a volume of ≈220 mL) and reliable (coefficient of variation, <1.1%) for the measurement of gastrocnemius medialis muscle volume. Considering that it is easier to use than the water tank technique, it has much promise for volumetric measurement of many muscles.
