Gait characteristics of children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy before and after modified constraint-induced movement therapy.
This study provides a new dimension in the effects of pediatric mCIMT programs and could begin to shift the focus of this intervention to remediation of lower extremity deficits. Additional studies with a longitudinal follow-up focus to determine the long-term effects of mCIMT on walking balance and stability would be beneficial.
