演员表。矫形器。夹板通常用于患有神经系统疾病的儿童，以改善肢体定位并增加功能运动。本文报告了对研究强制转换有效性的文献进行严格审查的结果。用于脑瘫或脑损伤儿童的上肢和下肢矫形器和夹板。结果表明，对于脑瘫儿童，手部夹板可以改善抓握能力，上肢石膏可以增加运动范围并降低肌张力。对上肢功能的影响有待进一步研究。用于下肢石膏。矫形器和夹板，有证据支持它们对脑瘫儿童有效改善脚踝的运动范围，从而改变步行质量。对于患有脑外伤的儿童，关于上肢和下肢的石膏、矫形器和夹板效果的信息较少。该领域需要进一步研究。
Casts. orthoses. and splints are often used for children with neurological conditions to improve limb positioning and increase functional movement. This article reports the results of a critical review of the literature examining the effectiveness of casts. orthoses, and splints for the upper and lower extremity when used for children with cerebral palsy or brain injury. Results indicate that for children with cerebral palsy, hands splints improve grasp, and upper extremity casts lead to increased range of motion and decreased muscle tone. The effects on upper extremity function need to he studied further. For lower extremity casts. orthoses, and splints, there is evidence to support their effectiveness for children with cerebral palsy in improving range of motion At the ankle, leading to changes in the quality of walking. For children with traumatic brain injury, there is less information on the effects of casts, orthoses, and splints for both the upper and lower extremity. Further research in this area is needed.
