Occupational Therapists' Opinions of Two Pediatric Constraint-Induced Movement Therapy Protocols.

Objective: We sought to determine occupational therapists' opinions of two pediatric constraint-induced movement therapy (pCIMT) protocols.

Method: A total of 272 therapists in pediatric rehabilitation clinics completed an electronic survey to determine their opinions of two published pCIMT protocols. In Protocol A, restraint is worn 24 hr/day on the nonparetic upper extremity (UE), and in-clinic, therapist-supervised practice sessions occur 7 days/wk for 6 hr/day over 3 wk.
