Orthotic Intervention for Hypotonia in Children with Down Syndrome

Course overview

Children with hypotonia often experience gross motor delays and excessive foot pronation. This course will review the variety of orthotic options available for hypotonia-related over-pronation, ranging from simple foot orthoses to custom made supramalleolar orthoses. Evidence from the peer-reviewed literature about the efficacy of these orthoses will be reviewed to summarize what is currently known and identify the gaps in our understanding that still exist.
