Awad, A. M. S., A. M. ElTohamy, and H. M. E. Azizi, "Effect of spasticity on muscle thickness of hip adductors", International Journal of PharmTech Research, vol. 9, issue 12, pp. 198-103, 2016. Abstract

Abstract : Background: Spasticity is a widespread problem in cerebral palsy (CP) as it affects function and can lead to musculoskeletal complications. muscle thickness is defined as the perpendicular distance between the deep and superficial aponeurosis. The purpose of this study was to study the effect of spasticity on muscle thickness of hip adductors in spastic children.
Subjects and Methods: Thirty five (20 spastic diaplegic and 15 normal) children from both sexes with age ranged from 2 to 5 years and the spastic children were able to stand holding on, participated in this study. Muscle architecture parameters (pennation angle and muscle thickness) were measured by ultrasonography, spasticity was measured by MAS.
Results: There was a significant difference in muscle thickness of left hip adductors between both groups, more in the normal group (p< 0.05), while there was no significant correlation between spasticity and muscle thickness of both right adductors (p= 0.529) and left adductors (p= 0.613).
Conclusion: Spasticity has an effect on decreasing the muscle thickness in spastic muscles of spastic children.

The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between the carrying angle and the muscle strength in children with Erb's palsy and also to assess the effect of reduced muscle strength on the muscle architecture and carrying angle in these children. Subjects and procedures: Twenty three Erb's palsied children (boys and girls) with age ranged from 6 months to 6 years old were selected to participate in this study. Carrying angle was measured by a universal goniometer, muscle architecture parameters (pennation angle and muscle thickness) were measured by ultrasonography and muscle strength was measured by active movement scale for young children and by Laffayette dynamometer for older children. Results: The results of this study revealed that there was a positive significant correlation between carrying angle and pennation angle of biceps during relaxation in affected side of group (2) and a positive correlation between carrying angle and muscle thickness of biceps and triceps during contraction in non affected side of group (1). Also in comparison between both sides there was a significant increase in carrying angle in the non affected side. Also a significant increase in pennation angle of triceps during relaxation in the non affected side. In conclusion: From the obtained results, it can be concluded that there is a relation between carrying angle, muscle architecture parameters and muscle strength.
