title: [Gait analysis in spinal cord injured population: a case report].
abstract: Gait analysis in spinal cord injured population is a very effective current diagnostic tool to prescribe an appropriate rehabilitation treatment. Spinal cord injury in childhood is a rare condition, with lower incidence than in adulthood. It carries particular importance due to physical, emotional, social, family and economic consequences. A case of a man with cervical level spinal cord injury has been described; for his treatment it is necessary the use of botulinum toxin. It was made a pre and post-treatment study to test the effectiveness of this therapy. This clinical case, along with a literature review, will help clinicians in the best treatment of this pathology.
