IMPACT: Improving Motor Performance Applying Constraint Therapy
The Stroke I.M.P.A.C.T. Study at the University of Florida explores Constraint Induced Therapy (CIT) for stroke rehabilitation. I.M.P.A.C.T. (which stands for Improving Motor Function Applying Constraint Therapy) is a five year multi-site NIH research grant.
Participants with upper-extremity (arm and hand) effects of stroke, receive two weeks of intense rehabilitation in research facilities at the University of Florida in Gainesville, Colorado State University in Fort Collins and the University of South Carolina in Columbia.
