Constraint Induced Movement Therapy Summer Camp for Children With Unilateral Cerebral Palsy Ages 3-7
Constraint induced movement therapy (CIMT) is an intervention for unilateral cerebral palsy
(CP). It is currently part of standard of care for children with unilateral CP, but is
typically done one-on-one and with the child wearing a cast 24 hours a day during the
duration of treatment. The purpose of this study is to assess the effects of an intensive
group-based CIMT summer camp in which participants wear a removable cast on upper extremity
function, occupational performance, and patient-specific goals. The investigators
hypothesize that upper extremity skills and occupational performance will increase, and that
patients will reach their individualized goals.
