Abstract

Two cases involving children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy aged 1 and 8 year receiving mCIMT were reported. Challenges faced by the clinicians and family members were discussed in detail. mCIMT is rarely implemented in pediatric rehabilitation in Malaysia. The intensive protocol of mCIMT yielded challenges in terms of high commitment from the family members and non-adherence from the children. Clinicians and family members should properly plan and discuss when consideringmCIMT for intervention.
