The casting techniques were developed over a 10-year period of clinical practice and are effective for managing spasticity-induced foot deformity in children with cerebral palsy or other central nervous system deficits, as well as adults with head injury.
The book discusses normal alignment and mobility of the foot and ankle, the benefits of serial casting, and indications and contraindications for use. In the section on techniques, the book demonstrates how to position the foot, prepare the patient, apply and remove the cast, and make a holding cast. Follow-up procedures are also presented.
