| Actimetry | In the third or fourth week of rehabilitation | Measure of acceleration data of the paretic lower and upper-limbs by means of an accelerometer (actigraph (r)) placed at the ankle and wrist during seven consecutive days |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Gait speed | Baseline, pre-intensive rehabilitation | Measured using the 10-meter walking speed test |
| Balance capacities | Baseline, pre-intensive rehabilitation | Measured using the MiniBESTest or Berg Balance scale according to abilities |
