Brief Summary
The recovery of the function of the hand is one of the most important aspects for patients who have suffered the consequences of neurological damage. Currently there are numerous therapeutic procedures aimed at rehabilitation that have scientific evidence such as restrictive therapy. However, dysfunction of the upper limb has an impact on the whole body that is not always taken into consideration.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (2)
kinesiological test of the upper limb
Shoulder: flexion and maximum abduction. Forearm: Supination / pronation. Wrist: maximum dorsal flexion. Hand: finger extension
2 weeks for mild grade and 3 months for moderate degree
The Box and Block Test
The Box and Block Test is a functional outcome measure that is commonly used across multiple clinical populations due to its benefits of ease and speed of implementation; reliable, objective measurement; and repetition of motion.
2 weeks for mild grade and 3 months for moderate degree.
Study Arms (1)
Experimental
EXPERIMENTALAdult patients with chronic sequelae in the upper limb after neurological damage
Interventions
The intervention of the stimulation of the reflex locomotion is carried out in this study in a sitting position in a conventional chair, an unorthodox posture in the usual treatment of Vojta therapy. The reflex stimulation is performed by the passive pressure exerted by the weight of the wrist (pisiform) on the rubber sphere. Simultaneously the patient has to exert a slight pressure with the heel towards the ground with his foot. This foot will be the opposite of the wrist that has the sphere under the pisiform. Alternating each diagonal 4 times, 5 minutes each. Total session 20 minutes, 2 times x day, every day according to degree of affectation.
