Brief summary
The goal of this study is to to evaluate the effect and feasibility of a rehabilitation protocol with prismatic lenses associated with tDCS, compared to a prismatic lens rehabilitation protocol associated with sham stimulation, in reducing the signs of neglect in a group of patients with spatial heminegligence following ischemic stroke of the right hemisphere. The secondary objective is to evaluate the impact of this rehabilitation protocol on functional outcome.
