Randomized Controlled Trial Clinical Trial
Modified constraint-induced movement therapy improved upper limb function in subacute poststroke patients: a small-scale clinical trial.
Constraint-induced movement therapy (CIMT) has been advocated as a means of facilitating motor function in poststroke patients; however, the evidence for its efficacy is controversial. ⋯ Our study provides additional support for the use of modified CIMT during a subacute rehabilitation period of poststroke patients. CIMT may facilitate functional improvement of a plegic hand.
