The aim of this study is to evaluate feasibility of a proprioceptive stimulation under visual feedback treatment protocol (using Gloreha® device) compared to usual physiotherapy treatment in sub-acute stroke patient with Complex regional pain syndrome.
The aim of this study is to evaluate feasibility of a a proprioceptive stimulation under visual feedback treatment protocol (using Gloreha® device) compared to usual physiotherapy treatment in sub-acute stroke patient with Complex regional pain syndrome. Treatments effect will be evaluated on pain perception, upper extremity functionality and change in pain pressure treshold. Usual physiotherapy consist of active or passive mobilization, extensor digiti and carpi functional electric stimulation, occupational therapy and taping.
