Partial paralysis treatment

No.12073373 ViewReplyOriginalReport
Hey /sci/, I'm looking for information on curing partial paralysis, for example your left hand's not working where the right works just fine, by depriving the healthy hand of movement by doing things like putting one or more oven mittens on healthy hand and taping it so you can't practically use. That was supposed to force brain to wake up the paralysed limb.
I saw a video on yt a while ago about it, but I'm ESL and don't know the proper term of this method so I can't really google this information effectively.
If somebody knows what I'm talking about and/or knows how's this method called, please help me, thanks.
