Abstract
The molded polypropylene orthosis offers many advantages in the treatment of foot and ankle problems in cerebral palsy. Numerous balancing, stance phase, and swing phase difficulties are treated with an ankle-foot orthosis with appropriate molding to correct each specific problem. Various foot orthoses can also be used to control dynamic muscle imbalances. Gait analysis has confirmed the merits of these orthoses.Keywords
