Summary
Spastic wrist flexion deformity is a very common problem in children with CP. Although serial
casting (SC) is one of the commonly used interventions in addition to botulinum toxin A
(BoNT-A) injections and physical therapy for spastic deformities of lower extremity of
children with CP, there is limited data on SC in the upper extremity.
In this prospective, randomized, controlled clinical trial in order to overcome the issues
with patient compliance, side effects and combined treatment options an intermittent SC model
was developed. The objective of this study was to show the effects of intermittent SC when
combined with occupational therapy (OT) and BoNT-A injections on spasticity, and passive
range of motion (pROM) of children with CP having spastic wrist flexion deformity.
