Investigation of the Effect of Constraint Induced Movement Therapy Applied to the Lower Extremity on Lower Extremity Functions in Individuals With Unilateral Cerebral Palsy
Lower extremity constraint induced movement therapy has been applied to individuals with multiple sclerosis, stroke, subacute and chronic hemiparesis in recent years and positive results have been reported. However, there is no study in the literature regarding the application of this treatment method to the pediatric population. In order to address this gap in the literature, we planned to conduct this study to examine the possible effects of lower extremity constraint induced movement therapy on lower extremity functions, balance and gait parameters in individuals with cerebral palsy.
