Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Performance of the WOLF and Fugl Meyer motor function test after 10 electrostimulation-associated mirror therapy interventions: The participant showed a 16% improvement compared to the initial and final scores on the completion of the WOLF test tasks. denotes improvement in paretic upper limb functionality.<br>Regarding the Fugl Meyer Scale, the participant obtained evolution in the active motricity items.<br>and synergistic movements combined with a 16.6% improvement over the score obtained at the time of assessment and reassessment, showed an improvement in the passive joint movement item with an increase of 12.5% and in the joint pain item with an increase of 58%. , 3% in relation to the total percentage of the evaluation.<br>;Evolution in the performance of 9 out of the 15 functional tasks requested to the patient, obtaining maximum score in two specific tasks at the time of reevaluation.
