Summary

Two movement illusion techniques can currently be used in clinical practice for motor rehabilitation after stroke hemiplegia: visual illusion (mirror therapy) and proprioceptive illusion (tendon vibration). Mirror therapy, in its computerized version (IVS3, Dessintey, Saint-Etienne, France), is based on the substitution of the deficient visual feedback by a visual feedback of a correctly realized movement. The proprioceptive illusion is based on the external application of a vibrator on muscle tendons at a frequency between 50 and 120 Hz. These two techniques are currently used independently. They are, in theory, complementary and additive. No study has described the combinatorial properties of the illusions generated by these 2 techniques in hemiplegic subjects and healthy subjects.

Conditions

  • Hemiplegia

Interventions

DEVICE

Computerized Mirror Therapy (CMT)

Computerized Mirror Therapy (CMT) will be realizing by the device Intensive Visual Simulation 3 (IVS3). The patient looks on a screen in front of him, mirroring the movements made by his hand, while attempting to perform the same movement with his other hand.

DEVICE

Tendon vibration

Transcutaneous vibrations are used. This device allows vibrations from 50 to 120 Hz with amplitude of 1 mm. This study the frequency used is 70 and 80 Hz.
