Summary

Stroke is the leading cause of severe acquired disabilities in adults. It can affect sensory and motor functions which are closely entangled. Among them, upper limb function is often strongly impaired. In this study the investigators are interested in the eventuality to improve motor recovery by the mean of stimulating the proprioception.

Proprioception can be stimulated by tendinous vibrations in order to act on the neuromuscular system through the vibratory tonic reflex and by movement illusion.

Stimulation by tendinous vibrations, applied to the musculotendinous endings, has been already proposed in post stroke rehabilitation, but only at late stages. Thus the aim of our study is to observe the effects of repeated tendon vibrations, applied in the early post stroke phase, the effect being measured on the excitability of the motor cortex by the Motor Evoked Potentials and on the motor recovery (motor control and activities).
