متن کاملEffectiveness of modified constraint-induced movement therapy on upper limb function in stroke subjects.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Of all stroke survivors, more than 50% are left with motor disabilities. Impairment of upper limb movement is a common motor disability. Constraint-Induced Movement Therapy (CIMT) is an intervention which has been used for the treatment of upper extremity motor disabilities in stroke patients. Although CIMT is an effective intervention, a recent survey revealed that this ...
متن کاملReduced-intensity modified constraint-induced movement therapy versus conventional therapy for upper extremity rehabilitation after stroke: a multicenter trial.
BACKGROUND Constraint-induced movement therapy (CIMT) is a rehabilitation approach for arm paresis consisting of an intensive schedule of treatment (6 h/d). The high demand of resources for CIMT is a critical issue for its implementation in the Italian health system. OBJECTIVE To compare the effects of a reduced-intensity modified CIMT (mCIMT) program that included splinting the unaffected ar...
