Constraint induced movement therapy? - constraint therapy
Anyone who has experience with the CIMT? and what you (or someone you know), the success rate? CIMT Getting Started I'm bound to find out whether a mitt or sling better (or other fastening device to work) and what really the baby carrier? (An arm in a sling or a normal use of the hand and arm have to some extent, against the law intentionally?) I very like more information about TCI (or CDI) is interested, but not found to be good detailed article on this page out. do not want to know who designed or anything, just the process, equipment and results, etc.
Links are welcome:) This is a research paper that I develop.

Induced Movement Therapy (CI) is affected by the use of the party by restricting the normal side. With CI therapy, the therapist goes beyond the survival of the affected arm in a sling. The survivor then use their more affected arm repeatedly and intensively for two weeks.
Dr. Edward Taub, a professor of psychology at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, has been developed CI therapy. He said that success after a stroke, a survivor tries to use the affected side. His first failure, discourages the use of this site. Dr. Taub calls this "learned, is not used.
After his career in 1999, Reva Baughman, 61, La Crescenta, California, barely lift his left arm or move his fingers. This year, the CI therapy in Sherman Oaks in the Advanced Recovery Center Rehab was California Treatment lasted six hours a day, five days per week for three weeks.
Now you can lift your arm, with a bottle in his company and eat sandwiches and cookies with his left hand. "Before CI therapy, which has not even attempted to use the affected hand andArm, "she said." Well, I try new things every day with my left arm and hand. I'll try it. "
To use CI therapy, survivors must be able to extend the wrist and move his arms and fingers. Many studies show little movement therapy improves CI in the affected area. A June 2000 study published in Stroke: Journal of the American Heart Association also showed that brain activity actually improved with treatment.
"This statement of hope that the researchers believe it may be possible to support or manipulate areas of the brain function lost, a process of cortical reorganization has known again," said Taub.
Currently, researchers are studying whether CI therapy improves the arm and shoulder for three to six months after the stroke and if the gains last for a period of two years.
During this time, no health insurance does not reimburse for the treatment of CI. It costs about $ 5,000 for two weeks of treatment
