Impact of Serial Casting on Autonomic Nervous System Responses during Virtual Reality Tasks in Children with Cerebral Palsy: A Pilot Study Comparing Orthoses and Barefoot Conditions.

Cerebral palsy (CP) is a group of movement disorders that impair posture and mobility, often leading to spasticity and joint contractures. Interventions like serial casting are commonly used to improve joint mobility and manage spasticity in children with CP. However, its effects on the autonomic nervous system (ANS) remain unclear.
