The Effect of Modified Constraint Induced Movement Therapy on Upper Extremity Function In a Patient Suffering From Chronic Severe Acquired Brain Injury: A Case Study
Objective: The primary objective of this case study was to investigate the effect of modified constraint-induced movement therapy on upper extremity function in a patient with severe acquired brain injury after 4 years. Material & method: A 33 years old women (F.Z), who had a severe acquired brain injury (ABI) 4 years ago participated in the present study. The right hand was the dominan...
متن کاملPredicting Recovery of Voluntary Upper Extremity Movement in Subacute Stroke Patients with Severe Upper Extremity Paresis
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Prediction of voluntary upper extremity (UE) movement recovery is largely unknown in patients with little voluntary UE movement at admission. The present study aimed to investigate (1) the extent and variation of voluntary UE movement recovery, and (2) the best predictive model of the recovery of voluntary UE movement by clinical variables in patients with severe UE par...
متن کاملA placebo-controlled trial of constraint-induced movement therapy for upper extremity after stroke.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Constraint-Induced Movement therapy (CI therapy) is a neurorehabilitation technique developed to improve use of the more affected upper extremity after stroke. A number of studies have reported positive effects for this intervention, but an experiment with a credible placebo control group has not yet been published. METHODS We conducted a placebo-controlled trial of CI ...
متن کاملConstraint-induced movement therapy for upper extremities in stroke patients.
BACKGROUND In stroke patients, upper limb paresis affects many activities of daily life. Reducing disability is therefore a major aim of rehabilitation programmes for hemiparetic patients. Constraint-induced movement therapy (CIMT) is a current approach to stroke rehabilitation that implies the forced use and the massed practice of the affected arm by restraining the unaffected arm. OBJECTIVE...
متن کاملModified constraint-induced movement therapy for upper extremity recovery post stroke: what is the evidence?
BACKGROUND Constraint-induced movement therapy (CIMT) is an effective treatment for upper extremity (UE) recovery post stroke. Difficulties implementing a traditional CIMT approach have led to development of protocols featuring varying practice schedules, including a 10-week, 3 times per week intervention, termed modified CIMT (mCIMT). To date, systematic reviews of CIMT have grouped the variou...
