Change in Movement-Related Cortical Potentials Following Constraint-Induced Movement Therapy (CIMT) After Stroke

. Patients with chronic stroke were given Constraint-Induced Movement Therapy (CIMT) over an intensive two-week course of treatment. The intervention resulted in a large improvement in use of the more-affected upper extremity in the laboratory and in the real-world environment. High-resolution electroencephalography (EEG) showed that the treatment produced marked changes in cortical activity that correlated with the significant rehabilitative...
