What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

Two decades ago, the projection of recovery of the upper extremity (UE) after a stroke had a very poor prognosis worldwide. Nowadays, thanks to medical advances and early rehabilitation, the prognosis for recovery has improved; however, there is still a limit that no therapy has been able to overcome, related to spontaneous recovery as part of the natural evolution of the pathophysiological process, rather than with the contribution of rehabilitation. Additionally, existing therapies show partial effectiveness on the recovery of UE function, but do not avoid the use of compensatory strategies or alternatives to normal movement. Given this situation, there is an active search for new therapeutic approaches. In this clinical trial the investigators propose a rehabilitation paradigm that promotes the recovery of control of specific planes of movement through the selective restriction of deg
