Abstract
Aim:Cerebral palsy (CP) is a neurological disorder characterized by impaired movement and posture, often accompanied by disturbances in sensation, cognition, communication, and behavior. It affects approximately 1 in 323 children in the United States, making it one of the most prevalent developmental disabilities.
Methodology: Participants will include individuals diagnosed with cerebral palsy, aged 5 to 18 years, who are prescribed AFOs for ambulatory support. Recruitment will be conducted through pediatric rehabilitation clinics and cerebral palsy support organizations.
Result:
Conclusion:The study has significant implications for clinical practice, emphasizing the importance of considering behavior, bowel function, and quality of life outcomes when prescribing AFOs for individuals with cerebral palsy.
