10 patients having suffered a stroke and having being rehabilitated will be treated with 40 consecutive Hyperbaric Oxygen Treatment (HBOT) after a minimal delay of 3 months after stroke. They will be neurologically assessed before and 3 months after HBOT. Rivermead mobility index will be also assessed.
40 consecutive (5/7) sessions of hyperbaric oxygen
40 consecutive sessions of hyperbaric oxygen will be administered at a pressure of 2 absolute atmosphere (ATA) to 10 patients. If there are drop outs, recruitment will be continued until a total of 10 patients with at least 30 sessions.
