A systematic review of the effects of casting on equinus in children with cerebral palsy: an evidence report of the AACPDM.

Abstract:

:This systematic review examines the effects of casting, either alone or in combination with botulinum toxin type A (BTX-A), on equinus in children with cerebral palsy (CP). Comparisons are made between casting alone and no treatment, between casting alone and BTX-A alone, between combined casting and BTX-A and each treatment by itself, and between casting followed by BTX-A and BTX-A followed by casting. A search of PUBMED, CINAHL, Proquest Health and Medical Complete, Cochrane Database of Systematic reviews, Physiotherapy Evidence Database (PEDro), OTseeker, Database of Reviews of Effectiveness (DARE), and Infotrieve yielded 184 citations. Articles were included in the review if they reported the effects of an intervention using casting for equinus in particpants with CP aged 20 or less, if they appeared in a peer-reviewed scholarly journal in 1970 or later, with no language restriction, and if casting was not used in conjunction with surgery. Twenty-two articles were selected, including seven randomized controlled trials (RCTs). There is little evidence that casting is superior to no casting, but the protocols of casting in current use have not been compared with no treatment in any RCT. There is no strong and consistent evidence that combining casting and BTX-A is superior to using either intervention alone, or that either casting or BTX-A is superior to the other immediately after treatment. Finally, there is no evidence that order of treatment (casting before BTX-A versus BTX-A before casting) affects outcome. Much of the evidence both for and against differences is weak, and results may be explained by methodological limitations. Future research needs to use adequate sample sizes, long-term follow-ups, and broader and more global measures.
