Stroke. 2004 Nov;35(11 Suppl 1):2699-701. doi: 10.1161/01.STR.0000143320.64953.c4. Epub 2004 Sep 16.

Abstract

Constraint-induced movement therapy improves outcome after chronic stroke, conforms experimental observations of neuronal plasticity, and proves the efficacy of intensive occupational therapy. More acutely instituted constraint-induced movement therapy has both practical and theoretic risks and benefits that deserve further careful evaluation.
