from Ideas at Play: An Occupational Therapy (OT) Podcast · host Michele Alaniz & Lacy Wright
Send us a Text or VoicemailEver wondered how to actually do constraint-induced movement therapy? This week, we discuss a 2025 randomized trial out of Texas Women's University that ran a pirate-themed CIMT summer camp for kids with unilateral cerebral palsy — 60 hours, 10 days, and a treasure chest at the end. Arrrrr! We cover who qualifies, what a full day at camp looks like, and whether adding virtual reality (drones! robotic exoskeletons! Wii!) actually moves the needle. Plus, the TWU protocol is free, online, and basically ready to use tomorrow.We share our own thoughts in the Research Review and encourage you to read the original article too.Roberts, H., Clegg, N.
