Figure 4 Graph indicating intracast pressures (mmHg) generated by different types of lower limb casts (mean + standard error bars).
Both complete fiberglass and complete plaster of Paris casts (POP) generated the greatest casts pressures. The surface pressures were significantly reduced when these casts were split. Split POP and fiberglass casts generated significantly less pressure than backslabs.
