Constraint Induced Movement Therapy questionnaire

29 July 2008

Children with hemiplegia are the subject of a research project into Constraint Induced Movement Therapy at Southampton University.

The researchers say: "If you are a parent of a child aged between 12 months and 18 years old who has spastic hemiplegic cerebral palsy we would like to discover your views on a treatment called Constraint Induced Movement Therapy also known as CIMT.

"CIMT is a treatment technique used with patients with hemiplegia. Until now it has been mostly used in stroke patients. Research has recently looked into its potential role as a treatment for children with spastic hemiplegic cerebral palsy. You can take part in the project even if you have never heard of CIMT until now. If you are interested in giving your views in our research questionnaire or would just like to find out more about CIMT visit www.soton.ac.uk/~fd1j06"
