Combining Unimanual and Bimanual Therapies for Children with Hemiparesis: Is There an Optimal Delivery Schedule?

Constraint-induced movement therapy (CIMT) and bimanual therapy (BT) are among the most effective hand therapies for children with unilateral cerebral palsy (uCP). Since they train different aspects of hand use, they likely have synergistic effects. The aim of this study was to examine the efficacy of different combinations of mCIMT and BT in an intensive occupational therapy program for children with uCP.
