Patient Portal Post-Botox Serial Casting Your foot and ankle are the closest to the ground, making them crucial for basic skills like walking, standing, and weight shifting.

Serial Casting Defined Serial casting is one of the most effective methods of improving ankle range motion. Serial casting intervention may be appropriate when addressing concerns related to: Spina bifida Cerebral palsy Idiopathic toe walking Traumatic brain injury Neurologic disorders causing hypertonia Muscular dystrophy Congenital abnormalities Limb spasticity in both children and adults Clubfoot Peripheral neuropathy Metatarsus adductus Stroke, etc.

Understanding the Benefits of Botox During Serial Casting Botox can be used for cosmetic purposes such as reducing frown lines temporarily. Some of the key benefits of using Botox during serial casting include: Decreased pain and discomfort in tight or stiff muscles Increased functional use of treated limbs Significantly enhanced gait pattern Improvement in range of motion and joint or muscle positioning Greater ease in stretching Better tolerance of braces Possible delay in the need for surgery at least until a patient is older Unfortunately, Botox has some side effects.

The extremity will be casted in proper alignment at one or more targeted joints in the maximal available range of motion. Casts will be changed on a weekly basis until the patient's range of movement progresses to their most functional level.

Each patient responds differently to casting; therefore, the number of casts will be determined by the therapist. Generally, casting can last anywhere from three to six weeks. The physician and the therapist determine what the patient's needs are regarding orthotics after casting.

Orthotics are generally applied after the cast procedure is complete to help maintain the patient's range of motion. The patient is able to participate in school and other normal activities while the cast is on.

The biggest challenge is keeping the cast dry, especially during the bathing process. In all, 10 patients that underwent a serial casting programme for 24 days following BTX-A injection were included in the study. Results: Mean age of the patients was Mean time interval after stroke onset was Contrary to our hypothesis, the addition of botulinum toxin A to a serial casting regimen led to earlier recurrence of spasticity, contracture, and equinus during gait.

The results of the present study suggest that botulinum toxin combined with serial casting for the treatment of fixed contractures will lead to a recurrence of plantar flexor spasticity and equinus contracture by six months in this patient population.

While previous research has indicated that the injection of botulinum toxin A is superior to casting for the treatment of dynamic equinus, the present study suggests that serial casting alone is preferable for the treatment of fixed equinus contractures in children with cerebral palsy.
