Modified constraint-induced movement therapy in children with congenital hemiplegic cerebral palsy
One new treatment strategy for children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy (CP) is constraint-induced movement therapy (CIMT). CIMT combines restraint of the less affected upper extremity and intensive exercise with the affected limb. CIMT has been shown to be effective in adults following stroke but …

Constraint induced movement therapy with armeospring pediatric training for children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy
… while a child engages in intense training with hemiplegic extremity. No studies to date have examined the effectiveness of CIMT combined with the Armeo®Spring Pediatric, a robotic device, in the pediatric hemiplegic cerebral palsy (hCP) population. The Armeo®Spring combines virtual reality games …

Sitting, Standing and Starting: Detailing Postural Control and Gait Anticipation for Children with Hemiplegic Cerebral Palsy
Of all children in the US born with Cerebral Palsy (CP), 30-40% of them will be diagnosed with Hemiplegic CP (HCP), presenting with one side of the body weaker than the other. The resulting asymmetries impede the ability of children with HCP to distribute weight evenly between their lower limbs. …

The effect of the Nintendo Wii Fit on the balance control and gross motor function of children with spastic hemiplegic cerebral palsy
… living. Studies have shown that children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy have poor directional specificity as well as problems with the temporal and spatial modulation of appropriate muscle action in response to balance perturbations. Children with hemiplegia have also been shown to develop …

Modified constraint-induced movement therapy in a day camp for children with spastic hemiplegic cerebral palsy: intervention effects and consideration of personal factors
… improvements for children with spastic hemiplegic cerebral palsy (CP); however, many studies have reported inconsistent findings with regards to the extent of the benefits observed following the intervention. This study sought to examine the effects of CIMT in the context of a day camp …

Nintendo Wii versus resistance training to improve upper-limb function in children ages 7 to 12 with spastic hemiplegic cerebral palsy: a home-based pilot study
… in n=6 children ages of 7 to 12 with spastic hemiplegic CP with respect to upper limb function, compliance and motivation levels. The main results found that all participants in the Wii intervention group (n=3) experienced positive changes in more than one assessment from pre-test to …

Resting State Functional Magnetic Resonance and Diffusion Tensor Imaging of Hemiplegic Cerebral Palsy Patients Treated with Constraint-Induced Movement Therapy: Predictors and Clinically Correlated Evidence of Neuroplasticity
Hemiplegic cerebral palsy is characterized by unilateral upper limb impairment and patients often compensate by performing most tasks with their unaffected arm. Constraint-induced movement therapy (CIMT) directly combats this learned non-use by casting the unaffected arm and forcing the patient to …
