Abstract
Scientific findings strongly support pediatric CIMT as a treatment strategy that can—and often does—produce measurable benefits to children with impairment in use of their upper extremities. The timely publication of the Handbook of Pediatric Constraint-Induced Movement Therapy (CIMT) provides an integrative history about CIMT that includes its major research findings, theoretical underpinnings, practical guidelines for practitioners and health care providers, and peer-reviewed information for students preparing to be pediatric practitioners and educators.
This handbook also features an extensive evidence table related to pediatric CIMT and writable forms for documenting pediatric CIMT for clinical practice or research.
Drawing on decades of evidence and clinical experience, this book is the most comprehensive text available on constraint therapy for children.
