About CIMT

CIMT or Constraint Induced Movement Therapy is a form of rehabilitation of the arm and hand following a neurological event such as a stroke.


Constraint induced movement therapy is suitable for adults and children with hemiplegia, where one arm is weaker than the other. CIMT involves rehabilitation of the weaker arm while restraining the stronger arm.


Constraint induced movement therapy has a large body of scientific research behind it and the effects of the treatment have been shown not only on the hand and arm, but on the brain itself.


A constraint induced movement therapy programme is short but intensive. Treatment is provided daily over a period of 2 to 3 weeks and led by a specialist physiotherapist or occupational therapist.
