Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy of conventional therapy with a framework intervention for upper limb motor rehabilitation based on the promotion of self-efficacy and social participation/interaction through a multi-user touch surface

Description:

After signing the written informed consent about participating in the study, participants will be assessed for exclusion criteria and their motor, social and depression skills prior to intervention. After this, they will undergo a 12 sessions treatment for 4 weeks in groups of three, randomly distributed for a control group and experimental group. At the end of the intervention, participants will be assessed in the same manner as before the intervention. One month after the end of the intervention, participants will be assessed for follow-up.
