Child Programmes
We provide constraint induced movement therapy programmes for children from the ages of 18 months. Our CIMT programmes for children are structured as follows:
- 3 or 4 week programme (determined by current ability and tolerance to therapy)
- Non-removable cast worn for full duration of programme including weekends (changed weekly to clean arm and check skin integrity)
- Play-based therapy sessions for 3 hours a day, 5 days a week
- Guidance to parents for additional activities outside of therapy session
- Provision of removable casts after the programme for use in follow-up treatment
