Feasibility of a home constraint-induced movement therapy for hand weakness after stroke.
Constraint-induced movement therapy (CIMT) is an efficacious treatment for chronic arm and hand impairment after stroke. A recent meta-analysis concluded that CIMT is more effective than alternative therapies or no treatment at all (1). Despite this evidence, CIMT is under-utilized. A difficult protocol and extraordinary demands on therapists' time are often cited (2). In the EXCITE trial of CI...

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 کاملCan Constraint Induced Movement Therapy Improve In-Hand Manipulation Skills: A Single Subject Design
Objectives: This study describes a single subject design (ABA) that shows the effective use of constraint induced movement therapy in improvement of quality and performance of in-hand manipulation skills for a 10 year old boy and a 9 years old girl with hemiplegic cerebral palsy, as Dickerson (2007) showed it in arm movement and function. Methods: To determine the effectiveness of CIMT by th...

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...
