Background, constraint-induced movement therapy (CIMT) is a potentially effective intervention for children with hmiplgie cerebral palsy (CP).
Purpose. The objectives of this systematic review are: (1) to investigate whether
CIMT is supported with valid research of its effectiveness and (2) to identify key
characteristics of the child and intervention protocol associated with the effects of
CIMT.

Because the scoring protocol was designed for RCTs and nonequivalent
pretest-posttest control group designs, we modified the validity scoring for the studies with one-group
pretest-posttest designs by deleting
categories (D) and (G) (Appendix 2).
These studies were scored 0/1 on an
11-point scale that measLired aspects
of: (A) study population, (B) design,
(C) blinding procedLire, (D) measurement instruments, (E) control of
cointerventions, (F) control for dose
of therapy, and (G) appropriate statistical analysis. The kappa coefficient was used to measure scoring
agreement between raters. Kappa
values for agreement between 2 raters have been categorized as poor
(.00), slight (.01-.20), fair (.21-.40),
moderate (.41-.60), substantial (.61.80), and almost perfect (.81-1.00).''
Nine of these 21 studies were scored
for internal validity (Tabs. 2, 3, and
4) using the scoring protocol for
group designs and included 173 subjects.2i-2:^|> Seven of the 9 studies

signs (ie, the subjects are not assigned to groups randomly)''-'* using
a between-group comparison was
evaluated by 2 reviewers not blinded
to authors or journals. We used the
scoring protocol developed by
Kwakkel et al'''' and Cambach et al'''
containing l6 items, each scored
0/1, which measured study validity
for the following methodological
categories: (A) randomization, (B)
matching, (C) blinding procedure,
(D) dropouts and intention-to-treat
analysis, (E) characteristics of measurement instruments, (F) control of
cointerventions, (G) comparability
of group characteristics, and (H)
control for dose of therapy (Appendix 1). The protocol was recommended by the Potsdam standards'"^
and other investigators''^''" to identif)' the potential confounders for the
ES of individual studies.

viding a rationale for intervention duration. Nayior and Bower^^ also provided therapy within the home
setting for 1 hour per day, stating
that treatment in the child's natural
environment increased adherence
among parents and teachers, thus decreasing the need for an intense
training schedule in clinical settings.
Pierce et al-^^ included two 1-hour
sessions of physical therapy and two
1-hour sessions of occupational therapy per week (ie, a total of 4 hours of
treatment per week), noting that the
high intensity of treatment in studies
by Taub and colleagues^"" was not
feasible in a managed care environment. Similarly, Cope et al^' applied
a total of 8 hours of treatment per
week. Four studies provided little intervention (eg, 1 hour of physical
therapy or occupational therapy per
week) and assessed the effectiveness
of constraint alone.^c^'i.so.ss The optimal durations of constraint and intervention have not been systematically evaluated.
Discussion
intervention was of 8 months' duration in 4 studies.2'.22.30,37 Positive effects were demonstrated in most studies up to 6 to 8 months after
Intervention.
Outcome measures. Eight studies
used outcome measures with multiple ICF levels (Tabs. 2, 3, 4, 5, and
6) 23,27-29.35,37,39,41 Eight studies had
o u t c o m e measures at the body functions and structure ievel,23 27-29,35,37,39.41

E Control for measurement error: A test was considered to be reliable if test-retest correlation coefficient and/or interobserver reliability and/or
intraobserver reliability was significant according to the authors or according to the studies that were cited by the authors. The (construct) validity of a
measurement instrument was considered to be demonstrated if a significant relationship between this instrument and a "gold standard" had been
established according to the authors or according to the studies that were cited by the authors. F. Control for cointervention: Control for adjunctive
(medical) cointervention was judged to be adequate (score 1) if: (1) trials in which other interventions were avoided or (2) trials in which data on
cointervention were presented were not significantly different between groups (P<.05). H. Control for dose therapy: Dose of therapy was judged to be
monitored adequately if predetermined (15) and actual rehabilitation time spent (16) were reported in experimental and control groups. Repnnted with
