Sensory Stimulation During Constraint-Induced Movement Therapy
The long-term goal of this project is to assess the impact of the novel sensory stimulation
technique in enhancing outcomes of constraint-induced movement therapy (CIMT) in children
with cerebral palsy. This is a pilot project.
technique in enhancing outcomes of constraint-induced movement therapy (CIMT) in children
with cerebral palsy. This is a pilot project.
The stimulation is peripheral sensory stimulation involving application of low-level,
random-frequency vibration to the wrist skin. The hypothesis is that improvement in upper
extremity function will be greater for the experimental group receiving the stimulation
during CIMT compared with the control group who will wear the device with no vibration
(placebo). This pilot study is to assess feasibility and safety.

- Between the ages of 3 and 9
- Have unilateral upper limb motor weakness.
- Use the affected extremity as a gross assist during play and self-care activities.
- No significant developmental delays that would limit spontaneous use of the more
affected extremity.
- Be ambulatory for their age and demonstrate intact balance and protective reactions
throughout the less involved upper extremity.
- No other health impairment other than hemiparesis.
