5. Study Description

Brief Summary
This trial will evaluate whether progressive multiple sclerosis associated with hemiparesis may benefit from Constraint-Induced Movement Therapy.
Detailed Description
Constraint-Induced Movement Therapy was developed to treat stroke hemiparesis. Due to the similarity between multiple sclerosis and stroke in terms of chronic motor deficit, this trial will attempt to determine whether multiple sclerosis may benefit similarly from Constraint-Induced Movement Therapy.
