Huang HH et al. – Studies varied widely in type and rigor of design; subject, constraint, and intervention characteristics; and ICF level for outcome measures. One outcome measure at the body functions and structure level and 4 outcome measures at the activity level had large and significant treatment effects (d.80), and these findings were from the most rigorous studies. Evidence from more–rigorous studies demonstrated an increased frequency of use of the upper extremity following CIMT for children with hemiplegic CP. The critical threshold for intensity that constitutes an adequate dose cannot be determined from the available research. Further research should include a priori power calculations, more–rigorous designs and comparisons of different components of CIMT in relation to specific children, and measures of potential impacts on the developing brain.
