Brief Summary
The aim of the present study is to evaluate the effects of training performed with the LUNA-EMG system to enhance motor functions of the upper limb in stroke This is a randomized open-label trial. Patients will be randomized into the intervention group (LUNA-EMG) or in the control group (standard care). The effect of the training will be measured with the EMG, the upper limb motor function and the quality of life.

Study Arms (2)
LUNA-EMG
EXPERIMENTALThe experimental group will receive 30 minutes of training with the LUNA-EMG for 12 weeks.
Control
NO INTERVENTIONThe control group will receive its rehabilitation care.
Interventions
The LUNA-EMG (Samcom) system is a robot that allows the evaluation of muscular strength through the recording of muscle activity (electromyography - EMG) in order to provide precise objective data on the patient's muscle function. In addition to the diagnostic aspect (evaluation of muscle strength, range of motion and proprioception), the LUNA-EMG robot allows the adaptation of movements during rehabilitation sessions according to the individually generated strength.
