CIMT uk Details
We provides constraint induced movement therapy ( "CIMT", "CI Therapy") for adults and children with a range of neurological conditions. We provide highly effective, evidence-based treatment for hemiplegia by a team of experienced specialist CIMT therapists in our well-equipped clinics in the North West, UK. Our specialist CIMT therapists are highly trained to deliver constraint induced movement therapy for adults and children. Constraint induced movement therapy is an innovative and unique treatment which has been proven to improve hand and arm function following neurological damage and is suitable for a variety of conditions including hemiplegia, stroke, head injury, cerebral palsy and spinal cord injury. Our constraint induced movement therapy programme is based on the work of Dr Edward Taub who conducted a number of research studies demonstrating the effectiveness of restraining the unaffected arm whilst intensively training the weaker arm. Dr Taub's studies present a strong evidence base for treating hemiplegia involving the arm and hand in adults and children.
