While conservative interventions target either contractures or HSc, serial casting (SC) is typically reserved for patients who fail traditional therapy or are nonadherent. The purpose of this study was to estimate the extent to which ROM (regular and revised passive and active), scar characteristics (objective and subjective), and patient-reported upper extremity (UE) function change following an individually tailored SC treatment program after switching from a minimum of 3\u00a0days of usual care. This study employed a prospective longitudinal intervention design with a criterion for change. Participants with UE joint passive ROM (PROM) loss of &amp;gt; 15% were included. Measures were taken at baseline, pre-SC, every Monday and Friday thereafter, and 3\u00a0weeks after casting. The QuickDASH and Patient Scar Assessment Scale were evaluated at baseline and 3\u00a0weeks after casting. Eleven individuals (13 joints) were included in this study. Regular PROM, revised PROM, and active ROM and scar thickness improvements were statistically significant. Participants reported improvements in UE function for 11\/13 joints (median 16%, range 9%-21%) and scar impression for all scars (median 6, 4-10). Participants also perceived that SC reduced their rehabilitation burden. In conclusion, when possible, SC should be prioritized to increase PROM, reduce HSc thickness, and enhance patient-perceived UE function and scar outcomes.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/jbcr\/irag116","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,3]],"date-time":"2026-07-03T12:47:02Z","timestamp":1783082822000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Serial
