therapy9 -> manipulation and casting for CTEV (October 2, 2003 9:24:00 AM)
can a physical therapist perform manipulation and casting for CTEV? OR only an ortho surgeon can preform it? THANX .

A PT can of course perform mobilization and casting for Congenital Talipes Equinovarus provided they are properly trained.
The mobilization protocol, which yields results in more than 70 percent of cases, (which is a better record than surgery) isn't obvious.

Well a combination of serial castings and manipulations and latter a tiny little surgical procedure sure does help in a wholistic result. I have been working on clubfeet for the last 3 years and the results have been pretty good. But most of all if there is a good co-operation by an orthopaedic surgeon. I have been practising the ponsetti method and am pleased with it thus far.
Any further comments, please do pool in.
