Modified Constraint-Induced Therapy for the Lower Extremity in Elderly Persons With Chronic Stroke: Single-Subject Experimental Design Study

Background: Studies have demonstrated improvements in arm motor function after constraint-induced (CI) therapy. Few studies of CI therapy for lower extremity conditions have been done. Our purpose was to evaluate the effect of modified CI therapy for the lower extremity in terms of motor control in elderly persons with chronic stroke. Method: A single-subject experimental AB design was used, with 3 months of follow-up. The A phase consisted of a...
