Re: cerebral palsy

As far as the suport from splints are concerned, you should continue to use the orthotic devices according to your assessment if the muscle imbalance persists. Some children may learn to walk independently. However, many children have to use the walking aids. e.g. ladderback chair, two walking sticks, quadripods, tripods, one tripod, one walking stick. Educate the gait according to the child ability.
