Casting is an effective adjunctive treatment, which increases the effects of botulinum toxin on patients with spasticity. The evidence for casting as an adjunctive therapy post-botulinum toxin has been well documented in the literature. However, standardized casting protocols are lacking, with no published descriptions of upper limb casting application post-botulinum toxin injection for spasticity. In this article, we will describe our experience regarding the application of upper limb casting as an adjunctive therapy for elbow spasticity, detailing indications, contraindications, and description of our protocol (materials required and technique).
