Background:
Neurological rehabilitation specialists must determine appropriate dosage, consisting of frequency, intensity, and duration of specified treatments.
Objective:
The objective of this study was to perform a content analysis of the current literature related to dosage (duration, frequency and intensity) for constraint-induced movement therapy (CIMT) in the adult population.
Methods:
A content analysis was conducted which yielded 62 scholarly articles.
Results:
The frequency of CIMT ranged from 1 to 7 days per week with the average frequency being 4.98 days. The duration of CIMT, ranged from 2 to 10 weeks with the average duration 3.14 weeks. All three components of dosage were reported collectively in outcomes studies conducted in inpatient settings and rehabilitation clinics.
Conclusions:
The findings provide a groundwork for evidence based practice for clinician in the application of CIMT dosage with consideration of settings and CIMT components.

Noncompartmental Analysis: Miscellaneous Pharmacokinetic Parameters
One key aspect of the noncompartmental approach is determining a drug's total clearance. This can be done by dividing the drug dose by the area under the concentration-time curve from zero to infinity. The area under the concentration-time curve represents the drug's...
