Title: | Does intensive upper limb treatment modality Hybrid Constrained Induced Movement Therapy (H-CIMT) improve grip and pinch strength or fatigability of the affected hand? | Authors: | BRAUERS, Lieke Geijen, M M E Speth, L A W M RAMECKERS, Eugene |
Issue Date: | 2017 | Publisher: | IOS PRESS | Source: | Journal of pediatric rehabilitation medicine (Print), 10 (1) , p. 11 -17 | Abstract: | PURPOSE: To investigate the effects of Hybrid-Constrained Induced Movement Therapy (H-CIMT), defined as CIMT combined with Bimanual Intensive Movement Therapy (BIMT), on grip and pinch strength and fatigability we measured grip and pinch strength and fatigability during clinical H-CIMT. METHODS: The children participated in a H-CIMT model organized in a therapeutic summer-camp. Children received 90 hours of intensive treatment. Grip and pinch strength and fatigability was measured and fatigue was calculated according to a Static Fatigue Index (SFI). RESULTS: Pinch strength significantly increased, grip strength did not increase significantly. A non-significant decrease was seen in SFI in pinch and grip. CONCLUSIONS: H-CIMT showed to be effective in increasing muscle pinch strength in the AH. Effectiveness in decreasing muscle fatigue during grip and pinch tests is not yet shown although there was a tendency towards a decrease in muscle fatigue. However, the long-term effects on these aspects are also important in future research. | Keywords: | BIMT;H-CIMT;cerebral palsy;static fatigue index;strength;Adolescent;Cerebral Palsy;Child;Female;Hand Strength;Humans;Male;Muscle Fatigue;Pinch Strength;Restraint, Physical;Treatment Outcome;Upper Extremity;Physical Therapy Modalities | Document URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/1942/31354 | ISSN: | 1874-5393 | e-ISSN: | 1875-8894 | DOI: | 10.3233/PRM-170406 | ISI #: | WOS:000448305500003 | Category: | A1 | Type: | Journal Contribution | Validations: | vabb 2022 |
