Constraint-induced movement therapy for chronic stroke hemiparesis and other disabilities.
Constraint-Induced Movement Therapy (CI therapy) refers to a family of treatments for motor disability that combines constraint of movement, massed practice, and shaping of behavior to improve the amount of use of the targeted limb. CI therapy has controlled evidence for efficacy that supports its benefit for patients with chronic disability following central nervous system injury, regardless o...
متن کاملActive finger extension predicts outcomes after constraint-induced movement therapy for individuals with hemiparesis after stroke.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Constraint-induced movement therapy (CIMT) is a rehabilitative strategy used primarily with the post-stroke population to increase the functional use of the neurologically weaker upper extremity through massed practice while restraining the lesser involved upper extremity. Whereas research evidence supports CIMT, limited evidence exists regarding the characteristics of in...
متن کاملTreatment of congenital hemiparesis with pediatric constraint-induced movement therapy.
To determine efficacy of pediatric Constraint-Induced Movement therapy, 20 children with congenital hemiparesis (ages 2 to 6 years) were randomly assigned to receive the treatment or usual care. Controls crossed over to the therapy after 6 months. Children receiving the therapy first exhibited emergence of more new classes of motor patterns and skills (eg, crawling, thumb-forefinger prehension;...
متن کاملConstraint-induced movement therapy after stroke.
Constraint-induced movement therapy (CIMT) was developed to overcome upper limb impairments after stroke and is the most investigated intervention for the rehabilitation of patients. Original CIMT includes constraining of the non-paretic arm and task-oriented training. Modified versions also apply constraining of the non-paretic arm, but not as intensive as original CIMT. Behavioural strategies...
متن کاملConstraint-induced movement therapy for motor recovery after stroke.
A new therapeutic approach to rehabilitation of movement after stroke, termed Constraint-Induced (CI) Movement Therapy, has been derived from basic research with monkeys given somatosensory deafferentation. CI consists of a family of therapies; their common element is that they induce stroke patients to greatly increase the use of a more affected upper extremity for many hours a day over a 10-1...
