Abstract:
Hemiplegia is a common type of physical disability in children with brain damage. For many kinds of reasons, the outcome of rehabilitation of the affected upper limb is not good enough, especially in the affected hand. Recently, many studies engaged in the modified Constraint-induced Movement Therapy (mCIMT) to explore the child-friendly way of restraint to improve hand function in hemiplegic children, and were summarized in this paper.
