Constraint-induced therapy (CIMT) has been utilized in treatment for the hemiplegic arm for over 25 years and considered to be the most effective intervention for regaining and achieving function in the hemiplegic arm. This technique involves constraint of the dominant arm by use of an ace wrap, cast, or special mitt.
