CVA hemispatial neglect
Conditions
Interventions
During prism adaption, patients wear prisms that shift their vision in one
direction (e.g. 10° to the right). They will initially misreach in the
direction of the prismatic shift (i.e. to the right)

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The effects of prism adaptation will be measured using several neuropsychological tests: star cancellation, line bisection, landmark task, drawing/copying, describing photographs, etc. Of all these tasks measures, such as reaction times, accuracy, number of perseverations, starting point/endpoint, procedure (e.g. systematic, random, etc) will be analysed. The second outcome measure will be differences in severity of neglect and daily impairments (as measured with the Catherine Bergego scale) | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| - balance board: laterale shift of centre of pressure in cm - force plate (posture): lateral shift of centre of pressure in cm - questionnaires: severity and frequency of neglect symptoms | — |
