Abstract

Objective To explore the effect of constraint-induced movement therapy (CIMT) for motor function of upper extremity after stroke.Methods 28 stroke patients with upper-limb hemiparesis were divided into two groups,14 cases in each group. The observation group received constraint-induced movement therapy,treated with intensive shaping training with constraint of the unaffected arms. While the control group received routine rehabilitation with no constraint of the unaffected arms. The effect was evaluated by The Fugl-Meyer Asseseement(FMA).Results The scores of FMA is higher after than before treatment in the observation group,(P0.05). The flexibility of upper extremity of the observation group improved more significantly than that of the control group after treatment (P0.05).Conclusion CIMT can enhance the effect of rehabilitation in the function of upper extremity and the activities of daily living of hemiplegia patients.
