Constraint-Induced Movement Therapy for Adults Post-Stroke With Mild Upper Extremity Impairment
Constraint-Induced Movement Therapy for Adults Post-Stroke With Mild Upper Extremity Impairment and Deficits in Desired Occupational Performance: A Pilot Study
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 20 Feb 2026
Brief summary (registry, in English)
Constraint-Induced Therapy (CI Therapy) is a behavioral approach to neurorehabilitation and consists of multi-components that have been applied in a systematic method to improve the use of the limb or function addressed in the intensive treatment. CI Therapy for the more-affected upper extremity (UE) post-stroke is administered in daily treatment sessions over consecutive weekdays. Sessions include motor training with repeated, timed trials using a technique called shaping, a set of behavioral strategies known as the Transfer Package (TP) to improve the use of the more-affected hand in the life situation, and strategies to remind participants to use the more-affected UE including restraint. Robust improvements in the amount and qualify of use have been realized with stroke participants from mild-to-severe UE impairment.
