Constraint induced movement therapy involves rehabilitation of the weaker arm while restraining the stronger arm in a light-weight cast. CIMT can make significant improvements that are meaningful and lasting.
Constraint induced movement therapy has a large body of scientific research behind it, and the treatment has been shown to positively affect not only the hand and arm, but the brain itself.
A constraint induced movement therapy programme is short but intensive. Treatment is provided daily over a period of 3 to 4 weeks and led by a specialist physiotherapist or occupational therapist.
