The study population

Arm Description

The study population consists of patients 20 and 75 years of age who have had a supra-tentorial ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke. The study covers consulting or hospitalized patients at the neurological rehabilitation service (NHS) of Grau du Roi Medical Center, part of the Nîmes University Hospital. Most patients originate from a 2-4 week stay in the neurological acute care, cardiac or polyvalent departments of the University Hospitals of Montpellier or Nîmes. Intervention: Physiotherapy Intervention: Occupational therapy Intervention: Functional near-infrared spectroscopy

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
The main objective is to develop models for the cortical reorganization of motor areas and inter-hemispheric equilibrium in the early phase of post stroke recovery evaluated by the fNIRS technique from day 0 to day 60 (day 0 being the day of inclusion in the study) and to correlate the latter with the early phases of motor recovery over the same period, as measured by the test Fugl-Meyer.
Detailed Description
The secondary objectives of this study are: A. To evaluate changes in functional outcomes (Box and Blocks Test and NineHolePeg Test from Day 0 to Day 60. B- To evaluate changes in autonomy (Barthel Index) from Day 0 to Day 60.

Intervention: Physiotherapy Intervention: Occupational therapy Intervention: Functional near-infrared spectroscopy
Intervention Type
Procedure
Intervention Name(s)
Physiotherapy
Intervention Description
Physiotherapy regimen (days 0 to 60): orthopedic maintenance, work on trunk balance, sensorimotor techniques for restoration of motor skills, exercises for standing balance and walking. Sessions last 30 to 60 minutes depending on the fatigue of the subject and the level of recovery. They occur as daily sessions during the first two weeks and then two sessions / day. This is part of routine care.
Intervention Type
Procedure
Intervention Name(s)
Occupational therapy
Intervention Description
Occupational Therapy (days 0 to 60): Orthopaedic maintenance, exercises for sitting and standing balance, sensorimotor techniques for the restoration of motor skills, grip exercises. Sessions last 30 to 60 minutes depending on the fatigue of the subject and the level of recovery. 1 session is performed per day. This is part of routine care.
Intervention Type
Procedure
Intervention Name(s)
Functional near-infrared spectroscopy
Other Intervention Name(s)
fNIRS
Intervention Description
During the therapy protocol, cortical activation measures using the fNIRS method will be conducted every 15 days (at Day0, Day 15, Day 30, Day 45 and Day 60 for 5 sessions in total) at the technical platform of the Grau du Roi physical therapy centre, during the completion of a standardized motor task (maintaining a level of force) using the healthy upper limb and the paretic upper limb.
