Summary

This study aimed to compare the effects of Modified Constraint-Induced Movement Therapy (mCIMT) and Bimanual Training (BIT) based on the International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health, Children \&Youth (ICF-CY) conceptual framework. Our assumptions were that (1) mCIMT is more effective on outcomes representing all subdomains of ICF and (2) the possible improvements in the body structure and function, activity, and participation subdomains of ICF are intimately related to each other.

Conditions

  • Cerebral Palsy

Interventions

OTHER

Modified Constraint-Induced Movement Therapy

Children's less affected hand was restricted through a mitt with a material sewn shut on the palmar face to promote the involved side's use, and unimanual gross and fine motor activities were practiced with the more affected hand. Besides, if the participant attempted to use his/her less affected hand as an assistive, a bandage was also used to strap less affected upper limb to the trunk. Specific activities were selected according to the deficit of interest, participant preference (on the condition of having potential effects on hand skills) and parent/guardian, or their teacher's request (e.g., drawing, painting, and eating).

OTHER

Bimanual Training

BIT was administrated without any restrictive material on the non-involved upper limb, but instead, children were engaged in age-appropriate gross and fine motor bimanual activities. All targeted deficits of interest were addressed within the context of the selected activity.
