Keys Constraint-induced Movement Therapy protocol

All participants will receive the Keys CI Therapy protocol over an 8-week intervention period. Specific CI therapy strategies will be delivered, including: 1) supervised movement training will be carried out for 1 hour for 4 days/week for the first 4 weeks, 2 days/week for weeks 5 and 6, and 1 day/week for weeks 7 and 8; 2) participants will use the restraint mitt on their less-affected UE for most of their waking hours for an 8 week period; 3) transfer package methods will be modified to accommodate the longer time period between clinic visits; and 4) participants will be asked to independently perform additional movement training for 30 minutes each day at home.
