About this trial

The goal of this pilot clinical trial is to develop an integrated motor and cognitive rehabilitation program and evaluate the usability and acceptability of a new virtual reality scenario designed for the MOTORE device. This study will focus on the rehabilitation of the upper limbs in post-stroke patients with plegia and left-sided hemi-inattention. The main questions it aims to answer are:

* The evaluation of the usability and acceptability of the newly developed scenario * The evaluation of the effects of the new scenario on patients' hemi-inattention * The evaluation of changes in upper limb functional parameters

Participants will undergo a total of 13 rehabilitation sessions, each lasting 45 minutes, using the new scenario, including an initial and final assessment.

Eligibility criteria

Qualifiers

Presence of a diagnosis of right hemispheric stroke

Disqualifiers

Presence of cognitive decline prior to the event

Presence of previous stroke events

Presence of osteoarticular rigidity (e.g., ankylosis, functional limitations with traumatic or degenerative origin) or spasticity in the affected upper limb (Modified Ashworth Scale ≥3 on shoulder, elbow, or wrist)

Inability to maintain a sitting position
