Stroke is the leading cause of severe acquired disabilities in adults. It can affect sensory and motor functions which are closely entangled. Among them, upper limb function is often strongly impaired. In this study the investigators are interested in the eventuality to improve motor recovery by the mean of stimulating the proprioception.
Proprioception can be stimulated by tendinous vibrations in order to act on the neuromuscular system through the vibratory tonic reflex and by movement illusion.
Stimulation by tendinous vibrations, applied to the musculotendinous endings, has been already proposed in post stroke rehabilitation, but only at late stages. Thus the aim of our study is to observe the effects of repeated tendon vibrations, applied in the early post stroke phase, the effect being measured on the excitability of the motor cortex by the Motor Evoked Potentials and on the motor recovery (motor control and activities).

Patients: 30 patients recruited after a first ever stroke whatever the cause and the site; age >18; stroke delay< 60 days; the maximum duration of participation for each patient is 3 months.
Protocol:
This rehabilitation protocol will be added to the usual rehabilitation program during inpatient rehabilitation.
Participants are randomized into two groups: experimental group and placebo group.
The experimental group benefits from upper limb tendon vibration sessions produced by small electromechanical vibrators on the elbow and the wrist. Frequency of the vibration is 80 Hz, two 15-minutes sessions per day scheduled for 10 days over a period of two weeks (2 x 5 days). During the sessions, the participant wearing opaque glasses, in a seating position, is asked to move if possible his/her arm in the opposite direction of the perceived movement.
The placebo group receives apparently the same treatment but with "sham" vibration.
Assessment:
Motor recovery will be assessed:
The secondary objectives are:
Four consultations are planned:
D0 (day 0): (before starting stimulation): Motor skills assessments, Motor Evoked Potentials (MEP) and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI).
D15 (day 15): (as soon as stimulation ends): Motor skills assessments. D30 (day 30): Motor skills assessments and Motor Evoked Potentials (MEP) D90 (day 90): Motor skills assessments, Motor Evoked Potentials (MEP) and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI).

| Motor recovery assessment at the brain level by the efficiency of the primary motor pathway measured by Motor Evoked Potentials (MEP) recorded at the contralateral hand | Assessment of Motor recovery at the brain level by the efficiency of the primary motor pathway, measured by Motor Evoked Potentials (MEP) recorded at the contralateral hand: Magnetic stimulation is provided on the motor cortex involved by the stroke. The MEP are recorded on the contralateral side on the hand interossei muscles, in a bandwidth of 20 to 1000 Hz. The electromyographic activity is recorded continuously to ensure total relaxation of the patient before stimulation. The main parameter recorded is: the threshold defined by the minimum stimulation intensity capable of generating a MEP> 50 microvolts amplitude in at least 3 of 6 tests, while the muscle is fully relaxed. Same measurements are made after moderate contraction of the collecting muscles (finger spacing). | 30 day after the first assessment session (D30) |

| To assess any impact on nerve fibers density on the main motor pathway by Magnetic Resonance Imaging | The MRI is used to assess the possible impact of vibrations on nerve fibers density of the main motor pathway (corticospinal bundle). Diffusion tensor and tractography sequences are used to outline the direction and the density of nerve fibers. The corticospinal tract is particularly highlighted The first MRI takes place before any stimulation. It is used to localize the stroke in relation to the corticospinal tracts and to measure its volume. A first tractography is used to assess the initial disorganization of the fiber bundles. A 3D analysis of the tractography allows a visual assessment of the number and the density of fibers compared to the normal side. A second MRI will be conducted after 3 months with same method of tractography analysis. | at inclusion (first assessment, D0), 90 days after inclusion (D90) |
