The effect of modified constraint-induced movement therapy on spasticity and motor function of the affected arm in patients with chronic stroke.
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to explore the effect of modified constraint-induced movement therapy (CIMT) in a real-world clinical setting on spasticity and functional use of the affected arm and hand in patients with spastic chronic hemiplegia. METHOD A prospective consecutive quasi-experimental study design was used. Twenty patients with spastic hemiplegia (aged 22-67 years) were t...
متن کاملAffected upper-extremity movement ability is retained 3 months after modified constraint-induced therapy.
The practicality and patient compliance of constraint-induced movement therapy limit its application in many clinical environments. For more than a decade, the principal investigator's laboratory has shown efficacy of an outpatient, modified constraint-induced therapy (mCIT). The current study examined whether participants administered mCIT retained motor changes 3 mo after intervention. The up...
متن کاملTranscranial Direct Current Stimulation Potentiates Improvements in Functional Ability in Patients With Chronic Stroke Receiving Constraint-Induced Movement Therapy.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Transcranial direct current stimulation may enhance effect of rehabilitation in patients with chronic stroke. The objective was to evaluate the efficacy of anodal transcranial direct current stimulation combined with constraint-induced movement therapy of the paretic upper limb. METHODS A total of 44 patients with stroke were randomly allocated to receive 2 weeks of con...
متن کاملModified Constraint-induced Movement Therapy
Unilateral paralysis or paresis of an upper extremity can cause gross and fine motor functional impairments. These impairments can severely impact bilateral function of the upper extremities, thereby affecting a child’s participation in daily activities. Modified constraint-induced movement therapy (mCIMT) is an emerging and potentially effective treatment for children with unilateral upper ext...
