Key takeaways:

  • Children with cerebral palsy have abnormal foot pressure.
  • Surgical intervention should not be considered until later in treatment.

In this video, M. Wade Shrader, MD, discussed results that showed children with cerebral palsy have abnormal foot pressure compared with that of children without cerebral palsy.

“We feel like this is important, that you want to pursue conservative treatment early on and see which trajectory that these kids are undergoing before you employ surgical intervention at a later date,” Shrader said about results presented at the Pediatric Orthopaedic Society of North America Annual Meeting.
