Pediatric Constraint-Induced Movement Therapy for Children with Hemiparesis: Outcomes of a Clinical Model

Does the function of children with hemiparesis improve after treatment involving constraint of the less impaired upper extremity in conjunction with intensive therapies? We will investigate this question by evaluating the function of patients who are receiving standard therapeutic care in our outpatient treatment program at multiple points prior to, during, and after participation in an established clinical constraint-induced movement therapy protocol.
