Constraint-Induced Movement Therapy (CIMT) is a rehabilitation technique with a behavioral approach for people with asymmetrical use of the limbs.
Through task-oriented trainig associated with behavioral methods applied intensively and repetitively, CIMT aims to increase and improve the use of the most affected limb.
With a daily duration of 3 hours of training for a period of two or three consecutive weeks, it promotes clinical improvement by overcoming learned non-use and use-dependent cortical reorganization.
Currently one of the most scientifically evidenced techniques within neurofunctional physiotherapy and occupational therapy.
