Abstract

Cerebral palsy (CP) is a neurological syndrome resulting from hypoxic-ischemic brain damage occurring before or during childbirth. It is characterized by movement disorders and altered muscle tone. The period under 5 years of age is marked by intense neuroplasticity, making timely and effective rehabilitation crucial for the child’s neurological development. In this context, botulinum toxin-based injection therapy (botulinotherapy) has gained prominence in recent years as an effective method to reduce spasticity and promote functional recovery.
