Constraint-Induced Movement Therapy (CIMT) is one of the most effective techniques to improve functionality paretic upper limbs, but there are no studies investigating association CIMT and kinesio taping (KT). To analyze effects this on extremity functional recovery hemiparetic children adolescents.
