Effects of Home-based CIMT and Clinic-based CIM on Stroke
Effects of Repetition Home-based Constraint Induced Movement Therapy (CIMT) Compared With Repetition Clinic-based CIMT on Outcomes Post Stroke: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 13 Oct 2026
Brief summary (registry, in English)
Constraint induced movement therapy (CIMT) is based on the theoretical basis that constraining the unaffected limb following injury of the brain such as stroke can help overcome learned non-use. It comprises of constraint of the unaffected limb, massed tasks practice with the affected limb and a behavioral contract known as the transfer package whereby use of the affected limb is extended to the real-world situations. home-based rehabilitation is likely to be cost-effective, and it may reduce cost for patients in terms of hospital charges and transport fares. However, one of the major problems with the existing home-based CIMT protocols is that, they used number of hours spent carrying out tasks practice as the measure of intensity of practice, and it has been argued that, such method is not clear and it does not reflect the correct intensity of practice.
