About this trial

The objective of this clinical trial is to measure the effect of Rehabilitation with Virtual Reality or Modified Constraint-Induced Movement Therapy on hemiparesis in patients with Cerebral Vascular Event.

The question to be answered is: What is the effect of different therapeutic modalities supported by Virtual Reality or Modified Constraint-Induced Movement Therapy compared with usual Physical and Occupational Therapy on motor recovery of paretic limbs in patients with Cerebrovascular Event?

The patients will carry out activities of:

* Virtual reality or * Movement Restriction-Induction Therapy.

The investigators will compare the changes in the functionality of the paretic hemibody with a group undergoing regular physical and occupational therapy, as well as language and treatment-related satisfaction.
