Cerebral Palsy: (Brain Injury)
A definition of Cerebral Palsy
Spastic paralysis from cerebral palsy can result in the shortening of the muscle tendon unit due to its failure to keep pace with the growth of bones. Therefore, if a stretch can be maintained on this muscle group for a minimum of six hours per day, a contracture could be prevented or treated. To date, most people have used inhibitive casting to maintain a constant state of stretch on these muscle groups. Many individual cases have reported successful reduction of contractures due to cerebral palsy as a result of using Dynasplint® Systems six hours per day which mimics the same stretching time that occurs in the routine activities of a typically active child.
