Objective To explore the application value of Constraint-Induced Movement Therapy (CIMT) in the rehabilitation treatment of hemiplegia after stroke. Methods A total of 88 patients with hemiplegia after stroke admitted to our hospital from March 2024 to June 2025 were selected and randomly divided into two groups. The control group of 44 patients received conventional rehabilitation therapy, while the observation group of 44 patients received CIMT on this basis. The intervention results of the two groups were compared. Results The total effective rate of the observation group was 95.45%, which was higher than that of the control group (P < 0.05). Before the intervention, there was no significant difference in BI, FAC, FMA, and MWS scores between the two groups (P > 0.05). After the intervention, the scores of the observation group were higher (P < 0.05). Before the intervention, there was no significant difference in NIHSS scores between the two groups (P > 0.05). After the intervention, the score of the observation group was lower (P < 0.05). Conclusion For patients with hemiplegia after stroke, the application of Constraint-Induced Movement Therapy can achieve satisfactory intervention results. It can not only improve the patients' daily living ability, walking function, and limb function, but also reduce neurological deficits, demonstrating high application value.
