ANS: D
Rationale: Constraint-induced movement is one type of task-specific training used in individuals with chronic dysfunction resulting from a stroke. In this technique, the use of the unaffected UE is constrained by a sling. The patient then undergoes intense practice of functional movements with the affected UE. CIMT appears to induce functional reorganization of the cortex in individuals with stroke.
