Can getting kids with CP moving sooner after foot surgery lead to better results?

This study looks at whether starting to walk and use an ankle brace soon after tendon surgery helps children with cerebral palsy correct a common foot deformity called equinus and improve their movement. About 42 children aged 4 to 14 who can walk will be split into two groups: one gets a cast for 3 weeks then a brace, the other gets a brace right away and starts moving earlier. Researchers will check their progress over a year to see which approach works better.
