Constraint-Induced Movement Therapy for Stroke Recovery

This rehab approach temporarily restricts the stronger or uninjured limb so the weaker arm or hand has to be used during daily tasks and guided practice. It is commonly done for 1–2 hours at a time in stroke or unilateral injury recovery. The forced repetition helps drive neuroplasticity and rebuild function in the affected limb faster.

The only other therapy for stroke is called constraint-induced motor training, say MT. And the idea is you just put a glove over the good hand and you force someone to use their bad hand.
