Critique of Home Constraint-Induced Movement Therapy Trial

Enhancing recovery from stroke with effective rehabilitation interventions remains an elusive goal. Although intensive rehabilitation therapies such as constraint-induced movement therapy (CIMT) show promise, the intervention has not been deployed in routine clinical practice. Slow uptake of CIMT in routine clinical practice has been attributed to its large demand on professional resources and ...

Critique of Home Constraint-Induced Movement Therapy Trial: Constraint-Induced Movement Therapy Study Prompts the Need for Further Research.

Enhancing recovery from stroke with effective rehabilitation interventions remains an elusive goal. Although intensive rehabilitation therapies such as constraint-induced movement therapy (CIMT) show promise, the intervention has not been deployed in routine clinical practice.

A telerehabilitation approach to delivery of constraint-induced movement therapy.

We have developed a device called AutoCITE (Automated Constraint-Induced Therapy Extension) that automates the intensive training component of constraint-induced (CI) movement therapy, also known as CI therapy. This study evaluated the effectiveness of AutoCITE training in a telerehabilitation setting when supervised remotely and with only intermittent interaction with a therapist. Seven partic...

Constraint-induced movement therapy.

Kunkel and colleagues 1 recently published an article on constraint-induced (CI) movement therapy for motor recovery in chronic stroke patients. They presented the results of an uncontrolled series of 5 stroke patients undergoing CI therapy. The authors also presented a review of five studies, including their own, concerning the effectiveness of CI therapy based on a calculation of effect sizes...
