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.

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.

muscular strength will be measured with the EMG
Time frame: 12 weeks
Fugl-Meyer
The scale evaluates motor capacities of the upper limb following a stroke. Scores range from 0 to 66 (the higher the better).
Time frame: 12 weeks
Modified Ashworth Scale
This scale measures spasticity. The results are scored from 0 to 4 (the higher the more spastic).
Time frame: 12 weeks
Lovett
This scale measures muscular strength. The scale ranges from 0 to 5 (the higher the better).
Time frame: 12 weeks
