Abstract The aim of this work was to systematically review the studies which assess the effect of intensive suit therapy on functional abilities for children with cerebral palsy. Systematic review of randomized control trials studies. A search was made in medline, cochrane library, PEDro and Google scholar; from the earliest date of december 2012. Intervention: Intensive suit therapy (IST) programs performed by the physical therapist in children diagnosed as cerebral palsy with age between birth to eighteen years. Outcome measure: Gross motor function. Only 4 studies met the inclusion criteria. Meta - analysis was done and the current level of evidence to support the effectiveness of intensive suit therapy in children with CP became weak. As according to this review there was no enough support to use IST for children with cerebral palsy. The current level of evidence to support the effectiveness of intensive suit therapy on children with cerebral palsy is not sufficient |
