Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: - Diagnosed with spastic cerebral palsy - GFMCS 1-5. - Age 2-18 - Having a pain response by the revised and individualized Face Legs Activity Cry and Consolability (rFLACC) for muscles with spasticity (MAS score = 1 and a spasticity grade of 1-4 on the Tardieu scale) during the passive range of motion by the treating physician. - Requiring BonTA injection for their spasticity - having had a washout period of at least 6 month from last injection of botulinum toxin - Dynamic Myocontracture /spasticity in the painful limb (MAS score = 1 and a spasticity grade of 1-4 on the Tardieu scale) Are the trial subjects under 18? yes Number of subjects for this age range: 36 F.1.2 Adults (18-64 years) no F.1.2.1 Number of subjects for this age range F.1.3 Elderly (>=65 years) no F.1.3.1 Number of subjects for this age range
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: - Fixed myocontracture (Reduced and static passive range of motion) - Severe athetoid/dystonic movements in the targeted leg(s) Relative exclusion criteria Prior and recent surgery that might influence the pain evaluation is a contraindication and will be evaluated on an individual basis for the specific test subject by the principle investigator.
