Effect of Child Friendly Constraint Induced Movement Therapy on Unimanual and Bimanual Function in Hemiplegia

Objectives: Hemiplegia is a non-progressive damage in premature growing brain which causes movement disorders in one side of the body. The objective of present research is to study the method of modified constraints induced movement therapy (CIMT) which can be appropriate on unimanual and bimanual functions of children with Hemiplegia. Methods: This single-blinded, randomized, control trial ...

Pediatric Constraint Induced Movement Therapy vs. Bimanual Training for Hemiplegia

A 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 ...

Modified 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...
