dc.description.abstract | Dynamic suit orthoses (DSO) are currently used as a complementary treatment method in
children with Cerebral Palsy (cwCP). The aim of this review was to assess the effects of interventions
with DSO on the altered spatio-temporal gait parameters (STGPs) in cwCP. An electronic search
was conducted in the Web of Science, Scopus, PEDro, Cochrane Library, MEDLINE/PubMed,
and CINAHL databases up to July 2021. We included a total of 12 studies, which showed great
heterogeneity in terms of design type, sample size, and intervention performed (two employed a
Therasuit, three employed the Adeli suit, three employed Theratogs, one employed elastomeric
tissue dynamic orthosis, one employed a full-body suit, one employed external belt orthosis, and
one employed dynamic orthosis composed of trousers and T-shirt). The Cochrane collaboration’s
tool and the Checklist for Measuring Study Quality were used to assess the risk of bias and the
methodological quality of the studies. It was variable according to the Checklist for Measuring
Study Quality, and it oscillated between eight and 23. The studies of higher methodological quality
showed significant post-intervention changes in walking speed (which is the most widely evaluated
parameter), cadence, stride length, and step length symmetry. Although the evidence is limited, the
intervention with DSO combined with a programme of training/physical therapy seems to have
positive effects on the STGPs in cwCP, with the functional improvements that it entails. Despite the
immediate effect after one session, a number of sessions between 18 and 60 is recommended to obtain
optimum results. Future studies should measure all STGPs, and not only the main ones, such as gait
speed, in order to draw more accurate conclusions on the functional improvement of gait after the
use of this type of intervention. | es |
