Constraint-Induced Movement Therapy in a Pediatric Oncology Population

Two focused rigidity bi-valve long arm (upper arm to finger tips) casts will be fabricated for each participant on day one of the constraint-induced therapy (CIT) program. Focused rigidity casting materials are water proof and latex/fiberglass free. Focused rigidity casting does not require use of a cast saw for removal thus decreasing potential for anxiety during the casting process. Casts will be fabricated by therapist trained in the casting technique.
