Purpose: examine literature on the effects of suit therapy (ST) programs on motor and functional performance of children with cerebral palsy. Methods: this is a study of systematic review with meta-analysis, whose search of articles occurred in three databases using the alternated combination of the keyword “cerebral palsy” with “occupational therapy”, “physical therapy”, and “physical therapy modalities”. The articles were evaluated using three scales of methodological quality: PEDro Scale, Jadad Scale and Study of Quality. Results: the search resulted in 4,060 articles, from which 1,425 were excluded for having been published prior to January 2006, 3,005 because were not clinical trials, and 818 for not addressing suit therapy programs. Thus, only five articles were included in this study, from which only two showed methodological homogeneity. The studies showed controversial results and did not show any positive evidence in favor of ST. Conclusions: this study reveals the need for research on clothing with dynamic elements, since we did not identify any study indicating significant motor skill improvements in children with cerebral palsy.
