Funded Activity Summary

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.
