Abstract

Although the espasticidade treatment in patients with cerebral palsy is based essentially on cinesioterapia and drugs administrated as chemical blockades infiltration or orally, there are situations where such aid does
not have the desired effect, either because of the seriousness of the espasticidade or contra-indications and adverse effects of the botulinum toxin. We can also see human musculoskeletal apparatus deformities resulting from constant deforming stimulus of espasticidade and amendment biomechanics that it imposes on the member positioning during the gait, ortostatismo or other rest positions. In this situation, are indicated surgical procedures which aim at improving the condition of positioning biomechanics, adequacy and efficiency of movement in general. This review article has the aim to provide alternative forms of drug administration for the control of espasticidade, as baclofen bump that requires a chirurgical procedure and others indications and surgeries for the control of espasticidade and its consequences as deformities.
We will discuss also the indications for physiotherapy procedures and ortheses indications with the indication to reduce spasticity.
