What kind of doctor gives botox to a child?
Chances are the doctor is a specialist at Murdoch Childrens Research Institute and the child has cerebral palsy. Botox injections, combined with physiotherapy and surgery are used to help children with cerebral palsy to walk.Our regular Discovery Tours, hosted by the development board of the Murdoch Childrens Research Institute, take you behind the scenes to meet the passionate researchers responsible for this and other life changing discoveries. Visit the gait lab where researchers use high tech equipment to measure how children with cerebral palsy walk. Learn how magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) shows inside the developing brains of premature babies. Or take a trip through operating theatres where researchers study the effect of anaesthesia on babies.
