Constraint-Induced Movement Therapy Rewires the Brain—But Only If You Force the Issue
Mechanism: Constraint-Induced Movement Therapy (CIMT) forces the use of a stroke-affected limb, actively rewiring neural pathways in the damaged brain hemisphere. Readout: Readout: This process overcomes learned non-use, leading to significant motor function recovery, as indicated by an 85% recovery on the motor function meter.
After stroke, the damaged hemisphere loses control. The hand that once wrote and gripped now hangs limp. The instinct is to compensate—to use the good hand for everything, let the affected one rest. That instinct is exactly wrong.
