| Summary: | Understanding the underlying mechanisms leading to progressive muscle pathologies in spastic Cerebral Palsy remains a challenging field of research. Furthermore, Botulinum Neurotoxin-A (BoNT-A) is a frequent intervention to treat spasticity in CP but its effects on neuromuscular properties are not yet fully explored. High-density Electromyographic (HD-EMG) data have been collected before and after BoNT-A injections from children aged 5–15 years during isometric contractions of the ankle joint together with torque output, clinical assessments and demographic details. Data collected from a total of 13 children with and 29 children without spastic CP allow for between-group comparisons and are made available using Mendeley Data (https://doi.org/10.17632/3sbptrk54c.2 and https://doi.org/10.17632/3b98g5fyff.1). |
