Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

mCIMT

This intervention is based on 3 main aspects: 1. intensive training of functional tasks with the affected arm (massed practice) 2. constraint of the un-affected hand through a mitt 3. shaping techniques designed to transfer gains to the real world activities The 2 hours massed practice will be performed in a outpatient clinic with a supervision of PT.

BEHAVIORAL

hCIMT

This intervention is based on 3 main aspects: 1. intensive training of functional tasks with the affected arm (massed practice) 2. constraint of the un-affected hand through a mitt 3. shaping techniques designed to transfer gains to the real world activities In this group, a comprehensive set of the material necessary to perform the training at home and a booklet containing an explanation of the exercises that can be done will be provided to subjects. In addition, 2 hospital visits will be scheduled to instruct subjects and caregivers on the training and to update activities (1 visit at the beginning + 1 visit after 1 week).
