Definition
medications for seizures: Tegretol, Dilantin, Depakote,
phenobarbital, clonazepam.
medication for spasticity: botulinum toxin(botox) injections. prevents
the release of acetylcholine at the neuro- macular junction.
-lasts 1-4 months
-common muscles of injections: gastrocnemius/soleus, hamstrings,
hip flexors, and hip adductors.
, Baclofen:
-decreases excitatory input into alpha motor neurons.
-may be given orally or by intrathecal injections (through lumbar
puncture or catheter).
-children who have botox injections must be given extensive therapy
to stretch tight agonist muscles and strengthen the antagonist's
muscles.
-following administration of any muscles relaxant, loss of
spasticity ay present difficulty with previously acquired functional
mobility skills and ambulation.
Surgical procedures:
- dorsal rhizotomy-cutting of dorsal nerve rootlets supplying the
affected muscles to decrease spasticity and increase function.
-Z-plasty- release of a muscle or tendon to reverse contractures.
