Effects of interventions with therapeutic suits (clothing) on impairments and functional limitations of children with cerebral palsy: a systematic review

•Four models of therapeutic suits have had their effects tested empirically in pediatric rehabilitation.•The Dynamic Elastomeric Fabric Orthoses and TheraTogs improve postural alignment and gait in children with diplegic CP.•The isolated effects of TheraSuit and AdeliSuit were not tested. Both suits were investigated within the context of intensive training programs.•No additional benefits could be attributed to TheraSuit wearing during intensive training programs.•Low quality of evidence suggests caution in recommending therapeutic suits.
