Effects of constraint-induced movement therapy for lower limbs on measurements of functional mobility and postural balance in subjects with stroke: a randomized controlled trial

AbstratoBackground: Constraint-induced movement therapy (CIMT) is suggested to reduce functional asymmetry between the upper limbs after stroke. However, there are few studies about CIMT for lower limbs.Objective: To examine the effects of CIMT for lower limbs on functional mobility and postural balance in subjects with stroke.Methods: A 40-day follow-up, single-blind randomized controlled trial was performed with 38 subacute stroke patients...
