Intensive pediatric constraint-induced therapy for children with cerebral palsy: randomized, controlled, crossover trial

Stephanie C Deluca et al. J Child Neurol. 2006 Nov.

Abstract

A randomized crossover trial of a new form of pediatric rehabilitation was conducted with 18 children with hemiparesis. Half were randomly assigned to receive pediatric constraint-induced therapy involving constraint of the functional upper extremity and intensive therapy with the hemiparetic upper extremity. Controls received conventional physical and occupational therapy and then were crossed over to receive pediatric constraint-induced therapy. Pediatric constraint-induced therapy produced significantly greater gains than conventional rehabilitation services.
