Despite the fact that children with cerebral palsy may not have any deformities at the time of birth, postural deformities, such as scoliosis, pelvic obliquity, and windswept hip deformity, can appear with increasing age. This may lead to respiratory function deterioration and, in more severe cases, affects survival. To date, postural care is believed to help improve the health and quality of life of children with cerebral palsy. This review provides an overview of the cause and clinical management of postural deformity that is seen in children with cerebral palsy.
