Résumé :	Botulinum toxin type A (BTX) injections are frequently used in children with cerebral palsy (CP) to control spasticity. Injection variables still lead to variable outcomes of this treatment. Using instrumented spasticity assessment and muscle volume assessment the most effective location of the injection was demonstrated for gracilis and psoas muscles in children withCP. It was found that this treatment is most effectivewhen injected in the motor endplate zones of the selected muscles. This review article presents all available research on the role of motor endplate-targeting of BTX injections in children with CP.
