Purpose: Many studies have reported the effects of constraint-induced movement therapy (CIMT) with an orthosis on the residual function of the impaired side of post-stroke patients. We encountered a case with left hemiparesis whose functioning of the impaired hand improved by CIMT with an orthosis not to assist as in the past but to restrict the residual function of the paralyzed fingers.
Methods: The patient was a 46-year-old woman with left hemiparesis due to cerebral infarction 18 months ago.
