More evidence for the effectiveness of intervention needs to be obtained and this could be achieved from multicentre collaboration in the following ways:A uniform vocabulary used for postural/positional deformity.Each centre should contribute to a central database of children needing postural management programmes.*This should include results of radiological surveillance, interventions, and assessments.The latter would include standard measures such as the Pediatric Evaluation of Disability, Gross Motor Function Measure, Chailey Levels of Ability, Paediatric Pain Profile, and measures of Quality of Life.A programme of research to evaluate postural management programmes.*The rehabilitation technology information service (ReTIS).
