Constraint-induced movement therapy (CIMT) for young children with cerebral palsy: Effects of therapeutic dosage

Key Points

Key points are not available for this paper at this time.

Abstract

Pediatric CIMT at both moderate and high dosages produced positive effects across multiple reliable, valid outcome measures. The findings refuted the hypothesis of differential dosage benefits. Future research should address long-term effects, enroll larger and more diverse samples, and assess lower dosages to ascertain a minimal-efficacy threshold.
