Abstract: The aim of this study was to determine the effectiveness of constraint-induced movement therapy (CIMT) in patients with hemiparesis/hemiplegia following stroke and to analyze the main characteristics of CIMT in patients with stroke. A literature review was performed of experimental studies published up to February 2016. Among other search procedures, a search was carried out in different electronic databases. Selection criteria were as follows: the included studies had to be randomized clinical trials, and individuals had to be older than 18 years and to have been treated with CIMT after being diagnosed with subacute or chronic stroke. Twelve articles were included, thus providing 12 treatment groups and 12 control groups. The total sample consisted of 435 individuals divided into 2 groups: 219 persons in treatment groups and 216 individuals in control groups. The oldest study was conducted in 2010 and the most recent in 2015. Results indicate that CIMT is an effective alternative treatment for the rehabilitation of stroke patients, and the benefits can be observed at both the physical and functional levels.
