    Abstract

    This article proposes that constraint-induced therapy represents a theoretical model of rehabilitation emerging from basic research with implications for cognitive remediation attempts. It provides an overview of current work on constraint-induced therapies with a focus on the most widely used of these techniques, constraint-induced movement therapy (CIMT). An example from recent research in the cognitive sciences demonstrates how underlying principles of the CIMT could be used to guide rehabilitative efforts for cognitive dysfunction. Limitations and obstacles of applying such an approach are discussed.
