Constraint-Induced Movement Therapy in SESLHD: The feasibility of using a student-assisted model. Jessica Worton - Neurological Rehabilitation, St George Hospital, Sydney (for SESLHD)
Background • Constraint-Induced Movement Therapy (CIMT) has strong evidence in the Australian Clinical Guidelines for Stroke Management (2017) Reference: Stroke Foundation (2017). Clinical Guidelines for Stroke Management 2017. Melbourne, Australia. Retrieved from https://app.magicapp.org/app#/guideline/2282
Background • Within South Eastern Sydney Local Health District (SESLHD) CIMT has not been provided consistently or with fidelity. • Clinicians who reported previous use of CIMT did not demonstrate knowledge of all essential components. • Perceived lack of time and resources was a barrier
Aim • To investigate the feasibility of delivering CIMT via a student-assisted model for patients following a stroke.

Outcome • Development • CIMT structure • Identify clinicians and run CIMT course • Resources developed • Dates set, students requested • Student orientation program and tutorials • Participants identified • Intranet and internet sites SESLHD website: https://www.seslhd.health.nsw.gov.au/services-clinics/directory/constraint-induced-movement-therapy-cimt
Outcome • 5 programs run in 2018/19 – 28 participants • 6 patients: 6 students: 2 clinicians • Participant demographics
Assessments • Motor Assessment Scale – Upper limb items • Box and Block test • Nine hole peg test • Motor Activity Log • Canadian Occupational Performance Measure
Results Average change of 2.52 points on 18 point scale
Results Average increase in blocks transferred in 1 minute - 5.26 Average reduction of time taken to complete test - 17.44 seconds
Results Average rating increased by 1.26 points on a 5 point scale Average rating increased by 1.42 points on a 5 point scale
Results Average increase in rating was 2.21 points Average increase in rating was 2.74 points
Outcome • Student program
Outcome • Comparing models 24 hours of clinician time per patient 52 hours of clinician time per patient
Outcome • Comparing models $2166 per patient $979 per patient
Outcome • Comparing models
Outcome Delivering CIMT to 6 patients Time saving = 167 hours of clinician time Cost saving = $7122
Conclusion • A student assisted model of CIMT delivery to a group is feasible • Less impact on clinician time • Reduced cost to the organisation • Participant results are good
