Official title
The Extremity Constraint Induced Therapy Evaluation (EXCITE) Trial
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
An individual suffering a stroke or other brain injury may lose function on one side of the body (partial paralysis). As the individual shifts activities to favor the unaffected side, the problem worsens. Constraint induced (CI) therapy forces the individual to use the neglected arm by restraining the good arm in a sling. This study examines the effectiveness of CI therapy for improving arm motion after stroke.
