Positive effects of lower extremity constraint-induced movement therapy on balance, leg strength and dual-task ability in stroke patients: a longitudinal cohort study [PDF]

Journal of Rehabilitation Medicine
Objective: To investigate whether high-intensity lower extremity constraint-induced movement therapy can improve balance, leg strength, and dual-task ability. Design: A longitudinal cohort study in a real-world outpatient clinic.

Effects of a Distributed Form of Constraint-Induced Movement Therapy for Clinical Application: The Keys Treatment Protocol [PDF]

Brain Sciences
Background/Aim: Currently, there are limited evidence-based protocols for improving upper extremity (UE) motor function after stroke. The Keys protocol, a distributed form of constraint-induced movement therapy (CIMT), delivers CIMT components in fewer ...

A meta-analysis of constraint-induced movement therapy after stroke [PDF]

Journal of Rehabilitation Medicine, 2014
To evaluate the effect of constraint-induced movement therapy in adult stroke patients and to examine the impact of time since stroke and various treatment modalities.PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane and PEDro trial registers were searched for clinical trials published before November 2012.Randomized or quasi-randomized controlled trials of constraint-induced ...

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.

Constraint-induced movement therapy

Journal of the Korean Medical Association, 2013
Upper extremity paresis is a major impairment after stroke. Constraint-induced movement therapy (CIMT), which is in contrast to traditional rehabilitation techniques, such as neurodevelopmental approaches and proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation, has initiated evidencebased medicine in stroke rehabilitation research.

Constraint Induced Movement Therapy for Children with Brain Tumors [PDF]

Archives of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, 2016
Purpose: The purpose of this pilot study was to investigate the feasibility of a 3-week constraint-induced movement therapy program in children with brain tumors and upper extremity hemiplegia and to describe resultant change in extremity use.
