Remodelling the protocol of lower limb constraint-induced movement therapy: a pilot randomized controlled trial
During constraint-induced movement therapy (CIMT), the tasks practiced have been traditionally measured using hours. Recent studies have indicated that it is equally effective and easier when the number of repetitions is used for this purpose. Aim: The aim of this…

Motor control of functional tasks: a review
The determinant of successful rehabilitation for patients with neurological conditions is the ability to locate the source of a particular problem and to understand the interactions of many components to ensure efficient task-oriented movement. The sensory systems gather information about…

Impact of physiotherapy in auditory processing disorders in children with autism spectrum
Background: Auditory processing disorders (APDs) are characterised by impaired recognition and interpretation of sounds from the external environment. Methods: The study involved 34 boys aged 4-9 years diagnosed with autism attending physiotherapy at the National Autism Society of Kielce. The…
Number of repetitions versus duration in hours as dose measures of task practice during constraint-induced movement therapy: A pilot randomized controlled trial
Background: Constraint-induced movement therapy (CIMT) is used in rehabilitation of the upper limbs after stroke. However, its protocol, especially the issue of doses, seems not clear as duration of task practice in hours is used as a measure of dose.…
