Keywords:
Pediatric physical therapy, Cerebral palsy, Therasuit method, Occupational therapyAbstract
The TheraSuit method has been studied diligently during the last 10 years aiming mainly at rehabilitation in children with cerebral palsy (CP). It was created in 2001 and approved by the FDA that promotes postural correction and motor development of the body, with the aim of stimulating neural plasticity and functionality through movements. The results show an improvement in gait functionality, balance, and lost basic motor patterns. However, there is still a long way to go, data show us that the lack of approach and standardization protocols make direct comparisons with other methods difficult.
