Synopsis

Scientific findings strongly support pediatric CIMT as a treatment strategy that can--and often does--produce measurable benefits to children with impairment in the use of their upper extremities. This timely publication 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 a flash drive with writable forms for documenting pediatric CIMT for clinical practice or research. Drawing on decades of evidence and clinical experience, this work is the most comprehensive text available on constraint therapy for children.
