What this trial studies
This study investigates the use of prismatic adaptation techniques to enhance spatial attention and independence in individuals with unilateral neglect following brain injury. Participants will engage with prismatic goggles and virtual reality devices to facilitate corrective pointing movements in response to visual field displacements. The goal is to establish an effective and lasting therapy that improves the quality of life for those affected by this neuropsychological disorder. By focusing on healthy volunteers, the study aims to refine the methodology before applying it to clinical populations.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are healthy right-handed individuals aged 18 to 70 with normal or corrected vision.
Not a fit: Patients with neurological or psychiatric disorders, cognitive impairments, or orthopedic issues affecting the right upper limb may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could significantly enhance the autonomy and daily functioning of patients recovering from brain injuries.
How similar studies have performed: Previous studies have shown promise in using prismatic adaptation for rehabilitation, indicating potential success for this innovative approach.
