Aim: To Study the effects of constraint-induced movement therapy on hemiplegic cerebral palsy patients. Methodology: Both groups; control (n=15) and experimental (n=15) underwent treatment for six times a week for 3 months. Result : Significant findings were obtained. Conclusion : The research conducted and the results obtained seem particularly important for the CIMT practice and for the organization of rehabilitation programs in the dedicated health care service.Downloads
