Effect of Constraint-induced Movement Therapy on Hemiplegic Cerebral Palsy in Occupational Therapy

Objective To explore the effect of constraint-induced movement therapy on upper limbs of hemiplegic cerebral palsy in occupational therapy.Methods 30 children of hemiplegic cerebral palsy were divided into control group(n=15) and observation group(n=15).Both groups received conventional occupational therapy,the observation group received constraint-induced movement therapy additionally.Their upper limb function were assessed before and 6 months after treatment.Results The scores improved in both groups after treatment(P0.05).The score were significantly higher in observation group than control group(P0.01).Conclusion Constraint-induced movement therapy can improve the upper limb function of hemiplegic cerebral palsy in occupational therapy.
