Pathologies such as spinal cord injury, cerebral palsy, spinal muscle atrophy, and syndromic presentations will be reviewed. This discussion will include the unique obstacles this patient population presents regarding the evaluation, orthotic design, and orthotic problem-solving required to treat these challenging patients. Participants will learn about the pros and cons of treatment options such as HALO Traction, EDF casting, TLSO usage, and surgical interventions, among other things that confront this population.
