Ultrasound characterization of medial gastrocnemius tissue composition in children with spastic cerebral palsy

Introduction: In this study we aimed to characterize muscle composition of the medial gastrocnemius in children with spastic cerebral palsy (SCP) using quantitative ultrasound. Methods: Forty children with SCP, aged 4–14 years, participated in this study. Children were grouped according to the gross...
