Constraint-induced movement therapy following stroke: a commentary. [PDF]
Br J Neurosci NursOver 113000 patients present with stroke each year in the UK, the societal cost of which is approximately £26 billion annually, with £20.6 billion attributed to care after stroke. Approximately 70% of stroke survivors suffer from impaired arm function, with recovery patterns heavily influenced by initial motor weakness.

Constraint-induced movement therapy in stroke patients
Journal of Education, Health and Sport, 2020 Stroke is an important cause of disability and death of patients. The consequence of a stroke may be weakness of limbs or hemiplegia. Constraint-induced movement therapy (CIMT) is a technique of rehabilitation, whose mission is to provoke the patient to ...

Treatment of Congenital Hemiparesis With Pediatric Constraint-Induced Movement Therapy [PDF]
Journal of Child Neurology, 2011 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 (

Constraint-induced movement therapy [PDF]
Archives of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, 1999 To the Editor: Blanton and Wolf1 presented a case report of a patient with upper-extremity hemiparesis due to a stroke who received constraint-induced movement therapy. The Wolf Motor Function Test (WMFT) and the Motor Activity Log (MAL) were applied to assess the effect of the treatment.

Constraint-Induced Movement Therapy [PDF]
Stroke, 2004 Constraint-induced movement therapy improves outcome after chronic stroke, conforms experimental observations of neuronal plasticity, and proves the efficacy of intensive occupational therapy. More acutely instituted constraint-induced movement therapy has both practical and theoretic risks and benefits that deserve further careful evaluation.
