Description
Summary:Constraint induced movement therapy is an established, evidence-based intervention for children with hemiplegia. This case series describes the feasibility and clinical opportunities of using a hybrid telehealth and onsite model to deliver pediatric constraint induced movement therapy during the COVID-19 pandemic. These cases support that a hybrid model had a similar effect on upper extremity improvement compared to a traditional, in-person model and may be an option when access to in-person care is not available.
