Pediatric Constraint-Induced (CI) Movement therapy is a rehabilitation program designed to improve motor function in children with partial paralysis. Children with cerebral palsy may have one arm that has significantly greater function (good arm) than the other (bad arm). Restricting the use of the good arm may improve the use of the bad arm. In pediatric CI therapy, the good arm is put in a sling to force increased use of the bad arm. The bad arm is also trained each day for several weeks. This study will test the ability of pediatric CI therapy to improve motor function in children with cerebral palsy.
