CIMT is based on two main theories: "Cortical reorganisation", meaning that the brain has plastic properties which make it adaptable to the environment, and "learned non use" or "developmental disregard", which occurs when the brain learns and un-learns to use a limb. The pages below explain these two terms in more detail.
