The brain damage in CP is not progressive, but symptoms change § No contractures when the child is born § Different growth rate of bone and muscle, and early signs of
contracture (Herskind et al 2015, Gough and Shortland 2012) § Increased whole muscle passive stiffness in the calf has been
described as early as three years of age (Willerslev-Olsen et al 2013)

Contracture formation in CP is progressive and results in altered/deteriorated § range of motion § movement direction as the joint axis changes § precision § forces across the joint and bone growth zones
à bone and joint deformation

Muscle passive stiffness was increased 2-fold in CP CP 4.65 ± 3.42 vs. TD 1.96 ± 0.62, p<0.05

Muscle size correlated to age (R2=0.58, p<0.01) in TD children/adolescents
but not in CP

Muscle size correlated to body weight (R2=0.92, p<0.0001) in TD but not in CP

Muscle size correlated to strength (R2=0.58, p<0.01) in TD and in CP
(R2=0.60, p<0.05)
Conclusion
§ Wrist flexor muscles in CP are twice as stiff as in TD children/adolescents even though the muscles have a smaller cross-sectional area
§ Grip strength is both in CP and TD related to muscle cross-sectional area of the wrist stabilizing flexor carpi radialis muscle
§ The FCR cross-sectional area in CP is not correlated to body weight or age à suggesting that the diminished growth is related to the extent of the
brain damage

Future perspectives
§ Stiffness in even a few muscles can add obstacles to smooth and efficient movements (Valero-Cuevas et al 2015)
§ Stiffness measurements could help in planning tendon transfer surgery or tendon lengthening surgery
§ Stiffness measurement devices, with slow perturbation not eliciting spasticity, should be developed for more joints
§ Ultrasound measurements of echogenicity and stiffness should be developed for surgical planning
§ The long term relationship between intramuscular tendon release (open or percutaneous) and stiffness + strength should be evaluated and compared with control.
