Description
CI Therapy - Rehabilitation after stroke
CI Therapy (Constraint – Induced Movement Therapy) is a unique combination of rehabilitation techniques that significantly reduce the damaged limb deficit in the chronic phase after stroke in patients with multiple sclerosis or conditions after traumatic brain injury.
CI Therapy was developed at the University of Alabama by the U.S. research team led by Dr. Edward Taub PhD.; and applied with excellent results in several hundred patients.
Klimkovice spa is the only facility certified by the University of Alabama in Central Europe that offers this therapy.
Which patients is it suitable for?
Induced movement therapy - CI Therapy is suitable for patients after stroke, traumatic brain injury or with multiple sclerosis diagnosis in the sub-chronic phase of the disease - after the acute treatment in hospital; or in chronic phase of the disease.
What results can be expected
Induced movement therapy - CI Therapy can not bring about a return to full normal movement. Through the therapy, however, brain activity is reorganised and thereby the motor skills of limb are improved, which can not be achieved through traditional rehabilitation. The overall level of improvement is highly dependent on the patient's motivation and his approach to compliance with the conditions of treatment.
The progress that clients can achieve through CI Therapy can be observed in this simple chart that shows the results of measurements on a special electronic glove at the beginning, during and at the end of the therapy.
