Bracing in Cerebral Palsy

Warren G. Stamp M.D.1

1 An Instructional Course Lecture, The American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons

Bracing is a very important adjunct in the care of the child with cerebral palsy. Contractures can be prevented in many instances by the judicious use of physical therapy combined with adequate bracing and night splinting. I do not mean to imply that we try to keep all of our children in cumbersome, clanking braces. We attempt to rid them of their braces by specific surgical procedures when these are feasible. Recurrent deformities frequently have resulted from inadequate bracing or splinting in the postoperative period.
