The purpose of this study is to evaluate changes in strategies of hemiparetic upper limb movement in chronic stroke patients following rehabilitation using the "Nintendo Wii". The investigators hypothesize that patients will increase their use of compensatory strategies following this rehabilitation.
The principal aim of this study is to evaluate changes in strategies of hemiparetic upper limb movement in chronic stroke patients following twelve one hour sessions of rehabilitation using the "Nintendo Wii" over a period of four weeks, and to compare with a group of patients receiving traditional upper limb rehabilitation of the same duration. The investigators hypothesize that the use of compensatory strategies will increase in the group receiving the "Wii" rehabilitation while they will decrease in the group receiving traditional rehabilitation. The investigators further hypothesize that this will have an impact on the functional benefit with a greater improvement of function in the group receiving traditional rehabilitation.

| 1 hour and half |
| Kinematic measures | Parameters relating to hand trajectory (smoothness, curvature, velocity) and upper limb joint angles (trunk flexion, shoulder abduction) during an active reaching task using an electromagnetic motion capture system. (evaluated before and after the rehabilitation period) | 45 minutes |
| Kinetic measures | Capacity to regulate grip force during a visuo-motor task using an instrumented device. (evaluated before and after the rehabilitation period) | 45 minutes |
| Movement strategies during 'Wii rehabilitation' | The number and extent of the movements made with the upper limb during 'wii rehabilitation' will be recorded using accelerometers. | 45 minutes |
| MRI | The extent and localization of the lesions will be evaluated using MRIcro and correlations will be sought between the lesion locations and the kinematic and kinetic characteristics of the patients. Evaluations will be carried out during the week preceding and the week following the rehabilitation period. The evaluating therapist will be blinded to the type of rehabilitation received by the patient. | 1 hour |
