Upper limb restriction and induction therapy in children with CP

Children with cerebral palsy (CP) have limitations in performing bimanual activities, resulting in functional loss. Constraint-induced movement therapy (CIMT) is a therapeutic approach that aims to promote functional improvement in the affected limb. This work is aimed at rehabilitation professionals and offers them an update on a treatment approach that is accepted in the paediatric field and has been proven to improve children's manual performance. The author invites readers to enjoy this work and enhance their knowledge of paediatric rehabilitation practice through this treatment approach.
