growth and repair. Skeletal muscle in cerebral palsy (CP) has impaired longitudinal growth …

Cerebral palsy (CP) is one of the most common conditions leading to lifelong childhood
physical disability. Literature reported previously altered muscle properties such as lower …

Satellite cells (SC) are quiescent adult muscle stem cells critical for postnatal development.
Children with cerebral palsy have impaired muscular growth and develop contractures …

Background Children with cerebral palsy have impaired muscle growth and muscular
contractures that limit their ROM. Contractures have a decreased number of serial …

Cerebral palsy (CP), the single largest cause of childhood physical disability, is
characterized firstly by a lesion in the immature brain, and secondly by musculoskeletal …

Satellite cells (SCs) are the muscle stem cells responsible for longitudinal and cross
sectional postnatal growth and repair after injury and which provide new myonuclei when …

Skeletal muscle contractures represent the permanent shortening of a muscle-tendon unit,
resulting in loss of elasticity and, in extreme cases, joint deformation. They may result from …

Limb contractures are a debilitating and progressive consequence of a wide range of upper
motor neuron injuries that affect skeletal muscle function. One type of perinatal brain injury …

Satellite cells (SC), also termed adult myoblasts, are mononuclear cells of myogenic
