Abstract
  • Pediatric constraint induced movement therapy (PCIMT) is a largely growing treatment
    method being utilized around the world, however, there are limited programs that are utilizing
    this type of program to meet the needs of children with unilateral hemiparesis. A vast majority of
    children who receive this type of intervention are enrolled in randomized controlled trials, or
    families seeking-out facilities who provide this service. The purpose of this study was to
    determine the effectiveness of a clinic-based PCIMT program on upper extremity function and
    movement quality utilizing standard assessments geared towards this specific population.
    Children who have unilateral hemiparesis are at a higher chance of developing unilateral neglect
    and being developmentally delayed in gross motor, fine motor, and visual motor milestones.
    Delays in these areas will impact a child’s ability to participate in self-help skills and participate
    with peers which is critical for a child’s development. A quantitative, retrospective study was
    used to gather data for comparison and analysis. This study examined a total of 31 children ages
    2.5 through 8 years of age who were referred to the PCIMT program at a large pediatric hospital
    in the south. The children were measured using two standardized assessment tools (1) pediatric
    motor activity log and (2) Melbourne 2 assessment at the time of their initial evaluation and
    following the 3-week long intervention. Children were categorized by their Manual Abilities
    Classification Scale (MACS) or the Mini-Manual Abilities Classification Scale (Mini-MACS).
    Results from this study provide evidence to support clinic-based PCIMT programs to improve
    both function and movement quality for children with unilateral hemiparesis
