Constraint-Induced Movement Therapy in Obstetrical Brachial Plexus Palsy: A Single-Blind Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial

Puntos clave

• The study aims to assess the effectiveness of constraint-induced movement therapy (CIMT) in improving motor function in obstetrical brachial plexus palsy.
• Conducted as a single-blind pilot randomized controlled trial.
• Compared CIMT with standard care for participants with obstetrical brachial plexus palsy.
• Measured outcomes included quality, frequency of movement, and acquisition of motor programs.
• CIMT showed significant gains in the quality of movement compared to standard care.
• Participants using CIMT exhibited a higher frequency of movement.
• Improvements were observed in the spontaneity of use of affected limbs.
