Article Description:
This review found that more rigorous studies demonstrated an increased frequency of use of the upper extremity following constraint-induced movement therapy for children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy. Given uncertainties around the review methodologies, potential that relevant studies were missed and paucity and variability in the evidence presented, the authors conclusions are unlikely to be reliable.
