The effect of using prism adaptation treatment on performance of self care and mobility tasks in patients with unilateral inattention following stroke

INTERVENTION: Experimental intervention: Pointing training with prism goggles that shift field of view 10 degrees to the right, once a day, Monday to Friday for 2 weeks. Control intervention: pointing training with goggles containing clear flat glass, once a day, Monday to Friday for 2 weeks. CONDITION: Stroke ; Circulatory System ; Stroke, not specified as haemorrhage or infarction PRIMARY OUTCOME: Score of selfcare on Catherine Bergego Scale at 3 days after end of intervention SECONDARY OUTCOME: 1. Behavioural inattention test; 2. Corridor navigation (distance from wall); 3. Motricity index; 4. Sensory Assessment; 5. Barthel Index INCLUSION CRITERIA: 1. Right hemisphere damaged stroke patients who are judged by their Occupational Therapists to be having difficulty with self‐care as a result of unilateral inattention. 2. Scoring below cut off on Star Cancellation and Line Bisection tests from the Behavioural Inattention Test. 3. Able to sit and point with the unaffected hand.
