Constraint-Induced Movement Therapy (CIMT)

Constraint-induced movement therapy is a method of upper extremity rehab for children with neuromotor impairments and children with hemiplegia. It involves constraint of the non-affected upper extremity in combination with intensive therapy. 

GOALS:

* To facilitate more spontaneous use of the affected upper extremity

* To improve the quality of movement of the affected upper extremity

* To increase overall functional use of the affected upper extremity

* To improve quality of life skills

* Children with a clinical presentation of upper extremity hemiplegia who can initiate and move that upper extremity

* Children who are able to follow directions and work in intensive therapy
