Constraint-induced movement therapy (CIMT) is a promising approach to promoting recovery of functional arm movement after stroke. However, controlled studies have been limited to persons who sustained strokes at least 1 year before beginning the treatment protocol. This case study documents the neurologic history and motor recovery of a woman whose natural circumstances lend support to the principles of CIMT. The patient sustained a right midpontine vascular infarct and fell simultaneously, fracturing her right humerus. Orthopedic intervention for the fracture mirrored the protocol suggested by proponents of CIMT by immobilizing her right arm. Her significant recovery of left arm use over a 1-year period was more extensive than what would be typically expected after the type of cerebral infarct she incurred. Her case provides the first evidence in the literature that supports the principles of CIMT when it is applied immediately poststroke. Langue : ANGLAIS Identifiant basis : 2001215887 |
