Summary

The objective of this study is to determine the impact of vibratory feedback on the quality and intensity of a common motor rehabilitation task of the upper-arm (hand-to-mouth) in stroke patients. For that purpose the investigators use the SWORD system that combines 3D motion quantification wearable sensors and a vibratory module.

The investigators hypothesize that vibratory stimuli during a motor rehabilitation task increase significantly the number of correct movements performed per unit of time.

The design of the study is a cross-over randomized clinical trial. With the SWORD system in place each patient will perform the hand-to-mouth task twice (with vibratory feedback and without it), the order being random. The number of correct movements and other motor outcomes will be assessed continuously under both conditions.
