the patient will be seated in a chair with a table in front of it. The front part of the trunk will be covered with a black blanket that will be attached to the table. On the table, you will see arms and hands projected performing different types of functional manual activities that will include mobility and strength tasks. The projected arms will be adapted to the dimensions of each subject so that the patient can recognize the projected arms as theirs. This program will last 10 minutes. Then a physical exercise program for the upper extremities will be carried out: General mobility and warm-up: flexion-extension joint movements, rotations, deviations, abduction-adduction, etc. Gross mobility and coordination: ball games. Fine mobility and coordination: writing tasks, puzzles, abacus ... Strength exercises: shoulder, elbow, wrist, fingers. Stretching.
the configuration of the work table will be the same as in real IV, although videos of landscapes will be projected on them without any type of human or animal movement appearing on them. This program will last 10 minutes. Afterwards, a physical exercise program for the upper extremities will be carried out, detailed in Arm I.
only the visual illusion program will be carried out, detailed in Arm I.
