Effect of Baby-CIMT in Infants Younger Than 12 Months

Baby-CIMT is a very much modified model of constraint induced movement therapy for infants. It is developed to suit small children and their needs of stimulation. The infant should wear a comfortable glove on the less affected hand, while stimulating the use of the affected hand 30 minutes per day during 2 periods of 6-weeks training before 12 month. The hand training provides the baby with amusing and easily handled toys.

For baby massage, there will be a special instructional course by a health professional certified for baby massage. Massage should be given every day during 2 periods of 6 weeks. Families will be responsible for the massage.
