          Abstract

          ABSTRACT The purpose of the present study was to perform a systematic review of the literature to investigate how and with what modifications or adaptations constraint-induced movement therapy has been employed in clinical practice for therapeutic interventions in children with cerebral palsy. Searches were conducted of the CAPES (Brazilian fostering agency) periodical portal, Pubmed, Bireme, Science Direct, Scielo and PEDro databases for relevant articles published between January 2010 and May 2016. The articles retrieved were evaluated, scored and qualified by two blinded reviewers using the Physical therapy Evidence Database Scale. The searches led to the retrieval of 102 articles, 12 of which were included in the present systematic review. A table was created containing information on the study groups, inclusion criteria, intervention, intervention frequency, difficulties encountered, evaluations and outcomes. Considerable variety was found in the therapeutic intervention models. The findings of the present review demonstrate that constraint-induced movement therapy in pediatric clinical practice is not employed in its original form. Although the studies analyzed did not have a common methodology regarding the use of this type of therapy, the method has been adapted with considerable flexibility, providing promising, positive results regarding the therapeutic intervention of the paretic upper limb in children with cerebral palsy.

          RESUMEN El propósito del presente estudio fue realizar una revisión sistemática de la literatura para investigar cómo y con qué modificaciones o adaptaciones la terapia de movimiento inducido por restricción ha sido empleada en la práctica clínica para intervenciones terapéuticas en niños con parálisis cerebral. Se realizaron búsquedas en CAPES (Agencia brasileña de fomento) portal periodico, Pubmed, Bireme, Science Direct, Scielo y PEDro bases de datos para artículos relevantes publicados entre enero de 2010 y mayo de 2016. Los artículos recuperados fueron evaluados, puntuados y calificados por dos revisores ciegos utilizando la Escala de base de datos de Pruebas de Fisioterapia (Physical therapy Evidence Database Scale). Las búsquedas condujeron a la recuperación de 102 artículos, 12 de los cuales se incluyeron en la presente revisión sistemática. Se creó una tabla que contiene información sobre los grupos de estudio, criterios de inclusión, intervención, frecuencia de intervención, dificultades encontradas, evaluaciones y resultados. Se encontró una variedad considerable en los modelos de intervención terapéutica. Los resultados de la presente revisión muestran que la terapia de movimiento inducido por restricción en la práctica clínica pediátrica no se emplea en su forma original. Aunque los estudios analizados no tenían una metodología común respecto al uso de este tipo de terapia, el método se ha adaptado con una flexibilidad considerable, promoviendo resultados promisores y positivos con respecto a la intervención terapéutica del miembro parético superior en niños con parálisis cerebral.

          RESUMO Este estudo se propôs a realizar uma revisão sistemática da literatura para investigar como e com que modificações ou adaptações a terapia de movimento induzido por restrição tem sido empregada na prática clínica para intervenções terapêuticas em crianças com paralisia cerebral. As pesquisas foram conduzidas do portal periódico da CAPES (Agência brasileira de amparo), e dos bancos de dados Pubmed, Bireme, Science Direct, Scielo e PEDro para artigos relevantes publicados entre janeiro de 2010 e maio de 2016. Os artigos obtidos foram avaliados, quantificados e qualificados por dois revisores anônimos usando a Base de Dados em Evidências em Fisioterapia. As pesquisas levaram para a recuperação de 102 artigos, 12 dos quais foram incluídos nesta revisão sistemática. Uma tabela foi criada contendo informações sobre os grupos de estudo, critérios de inclusão, intervenção, frequência de intervenção, dificuldades encontradas, avaliações e resultados. Foi encontrada uma variedade considerável nos modelos de intervenção terapêutica. Os resultados desta revisão demonstram que a terapia de movimento induzido por restrição na prática clínica pediátrica não é empregada na sua forma original. Embora os estudos analisados não tenham uma metodologia comum em relação ao uso deste tipo de terapia, o método foi adaptado com flexibilidade considerável, fornecendo resultados promissores e positivos sobre a intervenção terapêutica do parético membro superior em crianças com paralisia cerebral.

          Technique to improve chronic motor deficit after stroke.

          The unaffected upper extremity of chronic stroke patients was restrained in a sling during waking hours for 14 days; on ten of those days, these patients were given six hours of practice in using the impaired upper extremity. An attention-comparison group received several procedures designed to focus attention on use of the impaired upper extremity. The restraint subjects improved on each of the laboratory measures of motor function used--in most cases markedly. Extensive improvement, from a multi-year plateau of greatly impaired motor function, was also noted for the restraint group in the life situation and these gains were maintained during a two-year period of follow-up. For the comparison group only one measure showed small to moderate improvement, and this was lost during the follow-up period; there was essentially no overlap between the individuals of the two groups. Thus, prolonged restraint of an unaffected upper extremity and practice of functional movements with the impaired limb proved to be an effective means of restoring substantial motor function in stroke patients with chronic motor impairment identified by the inclusion criteria of this project.

            Efficacy of upper limb therapies for unilateral cerebral palsy: a meta-analysis.

            Children with unilateral cerebral palsy present with impaired upper limb (UL) function affecting independence, participation, and quality of life and require effective rehabilitation. This study aims to systematically review the efficacy of nonsurgical upper limb therapies for children with unilateral cerebral palsy. Medline, CINAHL (Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature), Embase, the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, and PubMed were searched to December 2012. Randomized controlled or comparison trials were included. Forty-two studies evaluating 113 UL therapy approaches (N = 1454 subjects) met the inclusion criteria. Moderate to strong effects favoring intramuscular injections of botulinum toxin A and occupational therapy (OT) to improve UL and individualized outcomes compared with OT alone were identified. Constraint-induced movement therapy achieved modest to strong treatment effects on improving movement quality and efficiency of the impaired UL compared with usual care. There were weak treatment effects for most outcomes when constraint therapy was compared with an equal dose (amount) of bimanual OT; both yielded similar improved outcomes. Newer interventions such as action observation training and mirror therapy should be viewed as experimental. There is modest evidence that intensive activity-based, goal-directed interventions (eg, constraint-induced movement therapy, bimanual training) are more effective than standard care in improving UL and individualized outcomes. There is little evidence to support block therapy alone as the dose of intervention is unlikely to be sufficient to lead to sustained changes in UL outcomes. There is strong evidence that goal-directed OT home programs are effective and could supplement hands-on direct therapy to achieve increased dose of intervention.

              Treatment-induced cortical reorganization after stroke in humans.

              Injury-induced cortical reorganization is a widely recognized phenomenon. In contrast, there is almost no information on treatment-induced plastic changes in the human brain. The aim of the present study was to evaluate reorganization in the motor cortex of stroke patients that was induced with an efficacious rehabilitation treatment. We used focal transcranial magnetic stimulation to map the cortical motor output area of a hand muscle on both sides in 13 stroke patients in the chronic stage of their illness before and after a 12-day-period of constraint-induced movement therapy. Before treatment, the cortical representation area of the affected hand muscle was significantly smaller than the contralateral side. After treatment, the muscle output area size in the affected hemisphere was significantly enlarged, corresponding to a greatly improved motor performance of the paretic limb. Shifts of the center of the output map in the affected hemisphere suggested the recruitment of adjacent brain areas. In follow-up examinations up to 6 months after treatment, motor performance remained at a high level, whereas the cortical area sizes in the 2 hemispheres became almost identical, representing a return of the balance of excitability between the 2 hemispheres toward a normal condition. This is the first demonstration in humans of a long-term alteration in brain function associated with a therapy-induced improvement in the rehabilitation of movement after neurological injury.
