Neuroplasticity in Constraint-Induced Movement Therapy

2014
In healthy subjects, decreasing GABA facilitates motor learning[1]. Recent studies, using PET[2], TMS[3-5], and pharmacological challenges[6], have pointed indirectly to a decrease in neuronal inhibitory activity after stroke. Therefore, we hypothesize that a suppression of GABA levels post stroke might be beneficial to motor recovery during Constraint-

A Collaborative Scholarly Project: Constraint-Induced Movement Therapy

Occupational Therapy In Health Care, 2005
SUMMARY This paper describes the phases of a scholarly project process within one occupational therapy (OT) professional program. Using the example of a scholarly project on constraint-induced movement therapy, the collective endeavor among two OT graduate students, a faculty advisor, and two occupational therapists is demonstrated. The process leading

Neuroplasticity and constraint-induced movement therapy.

Europa medicophysica, 2007
Recent years have seen a proliferation of animal and human studies that have associated significant changes in regional brain physiology with sustained altered environmental or somatic stimuli. The behavioral consequences in such instances can be adaptive or maladaptive.

Individual Factors in Constraint-Induced Movement Therapy after Stroke

Neurorehabilitation and Neural Repair, 2005
Objectives. Constraint-induced movement therapy (CIMT) has been shown to be effective in chronic stroke patients. It is worthwhile to investigate the influence of individual factors for two reasons: to find out whether they influence outcome and to see whether they support the theory underlying CIMT. Methods.

Employment in households with stroke after Constraint-Induced Movement therapy

NeuroRehabilitation, 2006
Randomized controlled clinical studies show that Constraint-Induced Movement therapy (CI therapy) improves impaired arm function in patients with stroke. Little is known about how this therapy affects employment of patients or their caregivers. Individuals more than 1-year post-stroke (N = 121) were retrospectively surveyed about their activities and ...

Blinded, Randomized Trial Comparing Constraint-Induced Movement Therapy With Virtual Reality With Constraint-Induced Movement Therapy Alone

The American Journal of Occupational Therapy
Abstract Date Presented 04/05/2025 A blinded, randomized controlled study comparing the effects of pediatric constraint-induced movement therapy (pCIMT) alone with pCIMT and virtual reality combined. The goal was to advance the evidence-based intervention for unilateral cerebral palsy.

Constraint-induced movement therapy to enhance recovery after stroke

Current Atherosclerosis Reports, 2001
A 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 therapy consists of a family of therapies; their common element is that they induce persons with stroke to greatly increase the use of a more ...

Constraint-induced movement therapy for upper extremities in stroke patients

2009
In stroke patients, upper limb paresis affects many activities of daily life. Reducing disability is therefore a major aim of rehabilitation programmes for hemiparetic patients. Constraint-induced movement therapy (CIMT) is a current approach to stroke rehabilitation that implies the forced use and the massed practice of the affected arm by restraining
