“…This overall positive feedback indicated satisfaction and adherence, even during this early age. Even the application of the intervention on intermittent days could facilitate the child's adherence to it, making it easier to complete the total number of hours necessary to achieve the objectives set (Tezcan & Çankaya, 2022).…”

BackgroundWhile constraint‐induced movement therapy is strongly recommended as an intervention for infants with unilateral cerebral palsy, the optimal dosage remains undefined. This systematic review aims to identify the most effective level of intensity of constraint‐induced movement therapy to enhance manual function in infants at high risk of asymmetric brain lesions or unilateral cerebral palsy diagnosis.MethodsThis systematic review with meta‐analysis encompassed a comprehensive search across four electronic databases to identify articles that met the following criteria: randomised controlled trials, children aged 0–6 with at high risk or with unilateral cerebral palsy, and treatment involving constraint‐induced movement therapy for upper limb function. Studies with similar outcomes were pooled by calculating the standardised mean difference score for each subgroup, and subgroups were stratified every 30 h of total intervention dosage (30–60, 61–90, >90 h). Risk of bias was assessed with Cochrane Collaboration's tool.ResultsSeventeen studies were included. Meta‐analyses revealed significant differences among subgroups. The 30–60 h subgroup showed a weak effect for spontaneous use of the affected upper limb during bimanual performance, grasp function, and parents' perception of how often children use their affected upper limb. Additionally, this subgroup demonstrated a moderate effect for the parents' perception of how effectively children use their affected upper limb.ConclusionsUsing a dosage ranging from 30 to 60 h when applying a constraint‐induced movement therapy protocol holds promise as the most age‐appropriate and cost‐effectiveness approach for improving upper limb functional outcomes and parent's perception.

“…(2013) assumed that children below five can achieve their peak unimanual capacity and sustain it in subsequent bimanual training through a 6‐week mCIMT regimen, while those five and above may require a longer mCIMT regimen. Tezcan and Çankaya (2021) found that performing mCIMT in children's natural environment increased their motivation to treat. Their higher tolerance for intermittent days of training was observed.…”

“…(2013) used a 10‐week protocol with 60‐min sessions per day for training. Tezcan and Çankaya (2021) suggested that administering mCIMT on intermittent days makes adaptation easier and more pleasant, enhancing compliance. To ensure convenience, the study used an adapted child‐friendly model with reduced daily training dosage and increased protocol duration for 12 weeks, with 60‐min sessions per day, thrice a week.…”

Background and ObjectiveUpper extremity impairment is one of the complications in hemiplegic children. The purpose of modified constraint‐induced movement therapy (mCIMT) is to improve the function of impaired arms and hands in these children. This study compared the efficacy of mCIMT and the approach of neurodevelopmental therapy (NDT) on reaching capacity in children with spastic hemiplegia.MethodsFifty‐two spastic hemiplegic children ranging in age from four to 6 years were selected for this study from an outpatient clinic and biomechanical lab (Prince Sattam bin Abdulaziz University, KSA). They were randomly divided into two experimental groups: group I received NDT and group II received mCIMT for the involved upper limb and restriction of the uninvolved arm movements for 12 weeks (three times per week). Both groups received a conventional exercise program in addition to experimental one. Active elbow extension range of motion and three‐dimensional motion analysis of the reaching task were measured before and after 3 months of treatment.ResultsSignificant enhancement in all pre‐treatment and post‐treatment outcomes was observed in both groups by a two‐way mixed MANOVA; furthermore, Group II (mCIMT) showed the most significant improvement (elbow extension, percentage of reach to peak velocity, movement time and movement units) when comparing the post‐treatment outcomes between the two groups (p < 0.001).Implication for Physiotherapy PracticeAddition of mCIMT to a conventional exercise was superior to adding NDT exercise therapy in promoting the performance of reaching pattern in hemiplegic children.
