Abstract

|
|
Constraint Induced Movement Therapy(CIMT) is intense in that patient's unaffected arm is restrained for 90% of waking hours during a two-week period while they also participate in activity sessions using the affected arm for 6 hours/day. However CIMT showed that an issue for applying it to clinics of patients with stroke, and then modified constraint induced movement therapy(mCIMT) was designed to minimize the issue. Application on mCIMT for the patients has been studied in various ways. As a result, it has proved the effect on functional improvement of patients with stroke through methods such as MAL, FMA, WMFT, ARAT, FIM, SIS and so forth. It's considered that modified constraint induced movement therapy can be useful applied on clinical experiments of occupational therapy, as it is a way of treatment of upper extremity function, activities of daily living and an improvement of the quality of life for stroke patients.
