What this Trial Is About
On a functional level, performing the actions of daily life requires coordinated activity of the muscles of the upper limbs. The quality of motor recovery and/or technical assistance aimed at compensating for the movement deficit of the paretic upper limb (MSP) determines the possibilities of using the upper limb (MS) in activities of daily life. Interventions in the chronic phase of stroke aim to return home. The integration of the paretic upper limb into daily life activities is a major issue regarding the prognosis of recovery of use of the upper limb. Independence in daily life becomes an ultimate goal to take charge of. This study focuses on a new technical aid device, standard orthosis type, expanding the range of gripping gloves: the SaeboGlove in everyday environments. These MS orthoses help improve the use and function of the MSP in post-stroke adults as well as their independence and participation in society.
