Implementation of Therapy Together With Early Childhood Intervention
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Therapy Together for Unilateral Cerebral Palsy. Completed, enrolled 5 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this project is to conduct a pilot hybrid type two implementation and efficacy study on Therapy Together with Early Childhood Intervention using an explanatory mixed methods approach to evaluate the efficacy and implementation of Therapy Together. Therapy Together is a parent led intensive pediatric constraint induced movement therapy (P-CIMT) program for young children (3 months-2 years 11 months) with unilateral cerebral palsy (UCP). The research team developed the Therapy Together program due to the lack of clinical uptake in use of CIMT with children with UCP, even though there is consistent and robust evidence that demonstrates a positive treatment effect with the intervention. Therapy Together is based on the evidence and active ingredients of P-CIMT with a primary focus on utility and translation of research to clinical practice.

Interventions
CIMT consists of retraining the preferred hand by covering the hand with a soft mitt to promote the use of the assisting hand. With consistent practice, a toddler or infant builds the fine and gross motor skills of their assisting hand and bilateral coordination skills.
