The effects of serial casting on lower limb function for children with Cerebral Palsy: a systematic review with meta-analysis.
Nikki MilneMichelle MiaoEmma BeattiePublished in: BMC pediatrics (2020)
Lower limb serial casting, improves several outcomes relevant to lower limb function supporting its clinical use for improving DF PROM, reducing hypertonicity and improving gait in children with CP. Further research using stronger methodological study designs, is indicated to explore long-term effects of serial casting on functional lower limb outcomes such as gross motor function in children with CP. Clinicians can use this information when developing individualised treatment plans for children who have CP during shared decision-making consultations.
