Constraint-Induced Movement Therapy (CIMT), a therapy regime proposed by Taub and colleagues for rehabilitation of the upper extremities are being utilised for lower limb rehabilitation as modified-CIMT (mCIMT). The recent literatures on mCIMT for lower limbs did not use the concept ‘constraint’ in their methodology. Restraining of the less affected lower limb as similar to that of upper limbs are not possible when providing CIMT because of the bipedal nature of lower limb tasks.  Shaping-Induced Movement Therapy (SIMT) which focuses on shaping the behaviour through internal constraints such as feedback and reassurance can be considered as the better alternative to mCIMT in the rehabilitation of lower limbs in patients with stroke.
