5 March 2025 - NA7p How to do Constraint Induced Movement Therapy with Children and Young Adults
We are working with Harrogate District Hospital to deliver this course.
If you are interested in hosting this course or any other Ubuntu Training course please contact us.
Constraint Induced Movement Therapy (CIMT) is a treatment technique involving restraint of the less affected upper limb combined with task practice to promote upper limb function in the hemiplegic arm after stroke or brain injury. This course focuses on the use of this technique with children who are neurologically impaired.
It is designed for occupational therapists and physiotherapists and will provide an update of the CIMT evidence base and its application to working with children. It will also facilitate the development of work place CIMT treatment protocols to enable participants to set up their own CIMT service

Aims/Objectives
Participants will:
Gain an understanding of how to identify children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy who may benefit functionally from a constraint-induced movement therapy (CIMT) approach
Revise current evidence regarding neuroplasticity and how CIMT maximises this for optimum functioning in children and young people with hemiplegic cerebral palsy
Explore current evidence and critically evaluate protocols for constraint induced movement therapy (CIMT), specifically with children
Develop knowledge for the successful implementation of CIMT protocols into practice
Gain practical skills and experience of task specific therapy and shaping techniques used in the CIMT approach. Participate in role-play activities and in the discussion of case scenarios of children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy who have received (or may benefit from) a programme of CIMT
