Methods to improve constraint-induced movement therapy

NeuroRehabilitation, 2009
In global terms, cerebrovascular stroke is the leading cause of long-term disability. Despite improved acute phase management of stroke, the majority of survivors are disabled and many require effective rehabilitation. Constraint-induced movement therapy (CIMT) is one of the recently emerging therapies for subjects with stroke.

Optimizing Constraint-Induced Movement Therapy for Children With Cerebral Palsy

Pediatrics, 2021
* Abbreviations: CIMT — : constraint-induced movement therapy CP — : cerebral palsy Constraint-induced movement therapy (CIMT) is one of the best studied treatments for hemiplegic cerebral palsy (CP), which is one of the most common types of CP and is estimated to affect 1 per every 1000 children.1,2 Therefore, optimizing the ...

Barriers to the Implementation of Constraint-Induced Movement Therapy Into Practice

Topics in Stroke Rehabilitation, 2012
Constraint-induced movement therapy (CIMT) has been studied for many years in the treatment of the hemiplegic upper extremity (UE). However, there has been limited adoption of the protocol in daily practice.In this article, we review the CIMT literature specifically for meta-analysis, randomized controlled trials (RCTs), recent case reports, case ...

Constraint-Induced Movement Therapy for Cerebral Palsy: A Randomized Trial

Pediatrics, 2021
OBJECTIVES With the Children with Hemiparesis Arm and Hand Movement Project (CHAMP) multisite factorial randomized controlled trial, we compared 2 doses and 2 constraint types of constraint-induced movement therapy (CIMT) to usual customary treatment (UCT).

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-

Telehealth and Constraint-Induced Movement Therapy (CIMT)

Clinical Gerontologist, 2007
Abstract Stroke is the leading cause of disability in the United States. Stroke survivors often experience motor sequelae characterized by hemiparesis in the upper extremity contralateral to the brain lesion. Constraint-Induced Movement Therapy (CIMT) is an effective treatment for post-stroke hemiparesis.

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.
