Our physiotherapist Rosyln Boyd received a Premier's Award for Medical Research in May 2004, a commendation for her work demonstrating that 'Botox' injections, in combination with physiotherapy, dramatically reduces spasticity in the arms and legs of children with cerebral palsy. Premier Steve Bracks and Minister Bronwyn Pike visited the MCRI gait laboratory to meet some of Ms Boyd's patients and present the award
