Resumen: Approximately 100 therapists attended the PT/OT Casting Workshop at the twenty-ninth Annual Meeting of the American Burn Association in New York City, N.Y., on March 20, 1997. The workshop consisted of four groups: two demonstrating hand/wrist casting and two demonstrating casting of the foot/ankle. Participants had the opportunity to attend one upper extremity group and one lower extremity group lasting approximately 50 minutes each. Instructors provided a demonstration of a casting procedure while addressing general guidelines, indications, contraindications, and precautions related to casting each area. Thorough handouts were provided, and each participant had the opportunity to apply two casts. The following article is a compilation of the four handouts and their bibliographies.[volver]
