Thanks for joining today for another episode of Pushing Pediatrics. Today Sara and Sheila will be reviewing an article you can find below in the show notes on the effectiveness of serial casting and ankle foot orthosis for toe walking children with Autism Spectrum Disorder. We will be discussing the methodology, results, and implications for practice as Pediatric Physical Therapists. Our intent for this review is to provide some actionable insights for practicing PTs but also to cover some board exam prep as this is a newer article that could be testable material. We hope you find today’s episode helpful!
