DEVICE

Electromyographic Biofeedback

"This intervention phase will last 30 minutes of training, during which the participant will be encouraged to actively and voluntarily relax their spastic muscles and will receive visual feedback through the software when this occurs. Two modes will be used in the software: the first, called Recovery, which consists of a game in which the participant is encouraged to contract and relax their muscles in order to guide a rocket in a specific direction to earn points. The second, called Maestro, in which the participant's objective is to keep the rocket below the specified line while maintaining their muscles relaxed. The participant will perform each mode for 15 minutes, totaling the proposed 30 minutes. There may be a break between each mode if the participant experiences fatigue. Afterward, they will receive standard occupational therapy."

DEVICE

Sham (No Treatment)

The intervention with the placebo group will have an identical structure to that of the intervention group, but during the biofeedback phase, the software screen will be a simulation, not corresponding to the patient's muscle activity. The patient will receive occupational therapy as usual, in a manner identical to that of the intervention group after the placebo biofeedback therapy.
