Exploring the parameters of intensity, frequency, and duration within the constraint induced movement therapy published research: A content analysis.
NeuroRehabilitation 2018
BACKGROUND: Neurological rehabilitation specialists must determine appropriate dosage, consisting of frequency, intensity, and duration of specified treatments.
OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to perform a content analysis of the current literature related to dosage (duration, frequency and intensity) for constraint-induced movement therapy (CIMT) in the adult population.
METHODS: A content analysis was conducted which yielded 62 scholarly articles.
RESULTS: The frequency of CIMT ranged from 1 to 7 days per week with the average frequency being 4.98 days. The duration of CIMT, ranged from 2 to 10 weeks with the average duration 3.14 weeks. All three components of dosage were reported collectively in outcomes studies conducted in inpatient settings and rehabilitation clinics.
CONCLUSIONS: The findings provide a groundwork for evidence based practice for clinician in the application of CIMT dosage with consideration of settings and CIMT components.
