mP-CIMT focuses on improving strength, function and movement for children who have one arm or hand that’s weaker than the other. Your child wears a removable cast on their stronger arm. Having their stronger arm in a cast (constraint) encourages your child to use their weaker limb as they perform activities with our licensed occupational therapists and at home with you.

At Children’s Health your child receives the full one-on-one attention of an occupational therapist who has advanced training in modified pediatric constraint-induced movement therapy. With repeated constraint and therapy sessions, your child’s weaker limb becomes stronger and they may use it more.
