简要总结
The purpose of this study is to determine whether the hand function will improve more by using low-level vibration during constraint-induced movement therapy (CIMT), compared to CIMT alone without vibration.
详细描述
The low-level vibration has been shown to increase therapy outcome when used as an adjunct to therapy in adults with hemiparesis. Children who participates in the CIMT camp at MUSC will be recruited to take part in the study. Participating children will wear a watch device on their weaker arm during CIMT. The watch will vibrate only for the children who were assigned to the treatment group.
