Abstract: The review article describes the purpose and methods of the new study to develop multifunctional orthopedic orthoses, in which pre-designed individual orthopedic insole will be placed. The orthosis integrated with insole ensures the correction of congenital pathologies and prevention of orthopedic complications in children with cerebral palsy. At the same time, the combined effect of the orthosis and insole on patient's lower limb will qualitatively improve both the dynamics of movement and proprioception, i.e. the sense of body position and balance in space. The results of science-based studies and a practical solution to the problem are designed to provide CP patients with multifunctional orthopedic means. The outcomes of the research are related to the solution of the most important socio-economic problems - creation of normal living conditions for children with cerebral palsy and various severe and irreversible pathologies of the musculoskeletal system.
