Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Aim: to recruit at least 23 patients. The primary outcome parameter is the reaction time from the CSA (in ms). | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Further secondary outcome parameters (gathered by the neuropsychological assessment prior to inclusion to the study) are: - Apples Cancellation Test - Line crossing (Neglect-Test) - Line Bisection (Neglect-Test) - Clock Drawing Test - Baking-Tray Task (blinded) - Sitting position (spontaneously and after cueing, blinded) - Evaluations of activities of daily living (Barthel-Index and Catherine Bergego Scale, each blinded) - Standardized fingerperimetric examination - Evaluation of further sensory, motor and representational neglect domains (tactile, acoustic and representational neglect) During the treatment we will assess the after-effect with a mask (in cm): deviation of the experienced body midline (by means of straight ahead pointing with eyes closed) from the real midline. We will calculate the difference between experienced body midline before and after the treatment. | — |
