Reducing Stiffness in the Muscles of Children with Cerebral Palsy - Faizan Syed

This research targets muscle stiffness in children with cerebral palsy by breaking down excess collagen in the muscle’s extracellular matrix. Treating muscle tissue with collagenase reduced stiffness by 50% without weakening muscle strength. The findings offer a promising step toward therapies that improve mobility, reduce pain, and enhance quality of life.
