CIMT: An introduction to Shaping 2

Shaping is a key component of any CIMT program. Shaping involves gradually increasing the level of task difficulty. Shaping tasks should be selected to target the individual's specific motor impairments. One of six videos made by occupational therapy researcher Lauren Christie for the ACTIveARM project, a collaborative research project of South Western Sydney Local Health District, The University of Sydney and The Ingham Institute of Applied medical Research focused on CIMT implementation in practice. This 5-min video features Lauren and adult stroke survivor Nicole, who is turning over playing cards as part of her CIMT shaping exercises.
