Constraint-Induced Movement Therapy in Children Aged 5 to 9 Years With Cerebral Palsy
Bibliographic record
Abstract
PURPOSE: To examine the effectiveness of a modified form of constraint-induced movement therapy (mCIMT) in the context of a day camp model in 6 children aged 5-9 years with spastic hemiplegic cerebral palsy. METHODS: Before, 1 week after, and 3 months after 9 consecutive days of mCIMT, participants were assessed using the Quality of Upper Extremity Skills Test (QUEST) and assessments of range of motion and grip strength. Caregiver perceptions were assessed using the Pediatric Evaluation of Disability Inventory (PEDI) and a parent questionnaire. RESULTS: Significant improvements were observed on the "grasps" and "protective extension" subsections of the QUEST after the intervention. Increased social function was also observed as measured by the PEDI. All improvements were maintained at the 3-month follow-up assessment. Analysis of individual participants yielded additional information on clinically significant improvements as a result of the mCIMT intervention. CONCLUSIONS: The day camp model of mCIMT was effective in inducing lasting and meaningful changes in the children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
