Summary

For this project the investigators ask, how the activation and organization of muscle synergies may be disrupted by brain lesions, and whether it is possible to modify synergy activations by means of specific therapies. Will be investigated whether there is a relationship between post-stroke cortical plasticity and changes in synergy activations due to a therapy.

Interventions

DEVICE

Technology-aided rehabilitation

VRRS involves performing different kinds of motor tasks with the patient holding a real manipulable object in their hands while interacting with a virtual scenario. "Braccio di Ferro" task consists in center-out reaching movements and return. The subject is required to start from a central target, reach one of five peripheral targets arranged on a semi-circle with a 20 cm radius and then return to the central target.

BEHAVIORAL

Conventional rehabilitation

The patients will be asked to perform a wide range of exercises, including: shoulder flexion-extension, abduction-adduction, internal-external rotation, circumduction, elbow flexion-extension, forearm pronation-supination, hand-digit motion. Standardized instructions and modalities will be followed when providing exercises to the patients in order to control for any variability in leading the therapy session due to the therapist.
