About this trial

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about the WPM-SEMG-V2 device (Wireless Portable and Multi-Channel, WPM) designated to acquire high-density (HD) surface electromyography (sEMG) signals in healthy volunteers and post-stroke patients. The main objectives are: 1) to technically and clinically validate the WPM-SEMG-V2 device in healthy volunteers; 2) to demonstrate the clinical relevance of the HD sEMG signals to support the process of rehabilitation of post-stroke patients. Participants will be asked to perform simple exercises using the muscles of the hand or the leg in static or dynamic contractions while wearing the WPM-SEMG-V2 device.
