| description |
Ten children (8 males, 2 females) diagnosed with peroneal nerve injury as a complication of injection were included in this study. The age of the children ranged between four to seven years (mean 6.5 +/- 1.25 years). Physiotherapy and rehabilitation protocol included superficial heat, neuromuscular electrical stimulation (either galvanic or faradic current according to the response elicited), electromyographic biofeedback, exercises (passive, active-assistive and active), and orthotic support. Before treatment, foot-drop and steppage gait were observed in all the patients; both were remedied. The post-treatment muscle strength and electrodiagnostic test results showed statistically significant improvement when compared with pretreatment values (p < 0.05). We believe that our relatively favorable results in this study, manifested as shorter recovery time with no residual deficits, may be related to early intervention with an extensive physiotherapy program.
