Effect of constraint-induced movement therapy on upper extremity function 3 to 9 months after stroke: The EXCITE randomized trial

Article Abstract:

The effects of a 2-week multisite program of constraint-induced movement therapy (CIMT) are compared to usual and customary care on improvement in upper extremity function, among patients who had a first stroke within the previous 3 to 9 months. The results suggest that among patients who had a stroke within previous 3 to 9 months, CIMT produces statistically significant and clinically relevant improvements in arm motor function that persists for at least a year.
