Cerebral palsy
The ankle spasticity is a problem in the daily life of patients / caregivers
Modified Tardieu Scale ofankle dorsiflexion (knee extended position) > 20 degree
The ankle spasticity does not improve after having received physical therapy for at least 1 month
Patients or legal representatives are welcome to join the research
The muscles of leg that are injected into other areas Apart from the ankle The degree of rigidity is measured by the Modified Ashworth scale (MAS) more than 3/4
Contraindications for injection such as blood clotting, infection or skin inflammation that requires injection, taking anticoagulant drug
History of allergic reactions to compounds Alcohol, Phenol , Lidocaine
History of DVT at least one leg
History of surgery to stretch the tendons, bones or joints in the leg that will be injected within 1 year or plan to undergo the surgery in the next 3 months
History of seizure with in 3 months ago
History of injecting botulinum toxin or phenol at the leg that is injected within the last 3 months
