Part 3 – Precision Matters:
Functional Botox in Spastic Cerebral Palsy
In our previous post, we explored how Video-Assisted Gait Analysis helps identify the exact muscle groups causing abnormal walking patterns in children with spastic diplegia.
Today, we take the next step in treatment: Functional Botox Therapy — and how Dr. Aayushi Choudhary at Purple Heron Hospital is using it not for cosmetic use, but for real, medical impact.
💉 What is Functional Botox?
Unlike cosmetic Botox, Functional Botox is used in pediatric neurology to:
Relax overactive (spastic) muscles
Improve joint movement
Enable better balance and walking posture
But here's what truly sets it apart:
➡️ It’s not about just giving Botox — it’s about giving the right amount to exactly the right muscle, at exactly the right time.
🎥 How Dr. Aayushi Does It Differently
Using Video Gait Analysis, Dr. Aayushi:
Reviews every single frame of the child’s walking pattern

Identifies which muscles are:
Spastic (over-tightened and resisting movement)
Inactive or delayed
Plans precise Botox dosage and injection sites
Ensures functional improvement, not just temporary relief
This isn’t trial and error.
It’s a measured, evidence-based therapy that brings lasting changes in mobility and quality of life.
