This study focuses on children with spastic cerebral palsy and aims to examine how muscle morphology and tissue characteristics, as assessed by ultrasound, may relate to functional motor abilities. It is designed as a prospective, cross-sectional, observational study. Planned ultrasound-based assessments include parameters such as muscle thickness, pennation angle, fascicle length, echo intensity, tissue stiffness (via shear wave elastography), and microvascular flow (via superb microvascular imaging). These measurements are intended to be compared with standard clinical evaluations, including the GMFCS, GMFM-66, MAS, MACS, and Tardieu Scale. The study seeks to contribute to a better understanding of the relationship between muscle architecture and functional outcomes, with the goal of generating insights that may inform individualized rehabilitation planning.
