Constraint-Induced Movement Therapy

Constraint-Induced Movement Therapy (CIMT) is a rehabilitation approach designed to help people regain movement in a affected limb, often after a stroke or injury. The therapy involves restricting the use of the unaffected limb, encouraging the patient to use the impaired one more often. This active practice promotes neural recovery and functional improvement. By forcing the brain to reorganize and adjust, CIMT helps individuals regain their abilities and boost confidence in using their affected limb, leading to better long-term outcomes in daily activities.
