Abstract

Therapists treating children with cerebral palsy assess and provide equipment for their daily positioning regimes. As many of these children demonstrate delayed walking abilities, their parents often rely on the stroller as the main means of transporting their child for several years. A suitable seating system in the stroller that promotes a posture which complements the achievements gained in therapy is required. This article presents a framework for decision-making in prescribing seating solutions and describes the manufacture of customised foam and plywood stroller inserts.
