Therapeutic considerations of the feet and lower extremities in the cerebral palsied child

Clinics in Podiatry

Abstract

A general approach to the management of the cerebral palsied child has been described. Because the podiatric practitioner is often the recipient of parental inquiries concerning the possible therapy and lower limb management for their child with cerebral palsy, it is desirable to have a general awareness of how neurologically impaired children may be managed with regard to the lower extremity. Understanding the rationale for such therapeutic programs is helpful in outlining a specific course to follow when treating the foot posture of the dyslocomotive child.
