Abstract: The gait is a central function in the neuropsychological development of the normal child and in neuromotor diseases such as PCI. Spasticity is a major problem that prevents the development of motor functions remaining in these patients, thus producing a limited participation in recreational and sports activities and social activities. The synergistic action of the FET and the BTX-A can be a valuable aid, as the transient inhibition of muscle spasticity, can allow the subject to learn to reorganize through the rehabilitation intervention movement in a different way, in order to reduce the functional limitations in the lower limbs allowing a greater motor skills and thus a better quality of life.
