One Hand or Two for Children with Hemiplegia?: Effectiveness of Constraint Induced Movement Therapy (CIMT) Constraint of Non Hemiplegic Hand Pat Burtner, PhD, OTR/L Department of Pediatrics, Division of Occupational Therapy John Phillips MD, Arvind Caprihan PhD Collaborators, MIND Institute Massed Practice Hemiplegic Hand (Play, Self Care) Impacting Developmental Disuse of Involved Extremity Intensive 2 week Intervention 4 hours /day
Time fMRI fMRI CIMT Study 1: Effects of CIMT on Hand Function & Functional Skills (n=1) 3 Months Post 2 Immediate Post 1 Self Care Changes Pre Parent Identified Goals Grip Changes
Study 2: Effects of CIMT Underlying Neural Mechanisms, Hand & Functional Skills (n=9) Significant ↑ EMG recruitment in Grip Significant ↑ Grip, Pinch ↓Timed Dexterity Significant ↓ EMG recruitment Timed Dexterity Preliminary analysis has revealed a possible relationship between of changes In Diffuse Tensor Imaging (DTI) Region of Interest and Grip Strength changes in 3 children receiving CIMT
Study 3: Effects of Multiple Doses of CIMT on Hand Function and Functional Skills (n=1) 3 years 5 years 8 years Data Analysis In Progress Subject Constant Research Design Constant Measures Constant
