Children may also suffer from pathological agonist-antagonist co-contraction during movement and a loss of selective muscle control (Tedroff et al , 2008, Elder et al 2003). Muscle fibers adapt quickly in CP children when muscles are not being used functionally. Hof (2001) suggests muscle fiber type changes to become slow fiber ...
