Efficacy of lower Extremity LE CI Therapy using a spasticity reduction device for hemiplegia in stroke patients

A lower extremity constraint-induced movement therapy (LE CIMT) using a spasticity reduction device was used to treat four stroke patients suffering from hemiplegia. Upon intervention, both walking speed and stability improved, reliance on assistance from an accompanying individual or support device decreased, and both improvements to standing position during daily activities and walking activity were seen.
