Constraint Induced Movement Therapy (CI therapy) is a physical rehabilitation approach designed to improve motor recovery and increase extremity use following neurological injury such as stroke, traumatic brain injury, cerebral palsy and brain resection.
Since 1987, Dr. Edward Taub and his research group at the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) have been leaders in CI therapy research and development. Developed by Dr. Taub, the approach has been successfully used to promote beneficial neuroplasticity and improve function in adults and children recovering from neurological dysfunction at UAB and other laboratories in the United States and abroad.
To promote understanding and appropriate use of CI therapy in clinical practice, The UAB CI Therapy Research Group, led by Dr. Taub, has developed online and hybrid training program options for health professionals interested in establishing CI therapy clinical programs for upper extremity (UE) recovery with adults and children recovering from stroke and other neurologic conditions.
Program Description
The online training program consists of 15 self-paced learning modules with narrated PowerPoint presentations, multiple activities to enrich learning along the way, demonstration videos, synchronous and asynchronous opportunities to ask questions of course instructors, an extensive bank of resources (manuals, journal articles), and built-in strategies to self-assess/check your new skills and clinical application.
Hybrid training course options are also available that combines the online course with an in-person lab course either in Birmingham or in your clinical setting.
