Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

A brain injury can damage the brain, so that it no longer receives information about the space around one side of the world. If this happens, people may not be aware of anything on one side, usually the same side they also lost their movement (the most affected side). This severe condition is called spatial neglect. Currently there is no recommended diagnostic test or clinically-proven treatment for the condition. In a recent study, the investigators found a long-lasting reduction in neglect if people practiced picking-up an object with their unaffected hand. This intervention is called Spatial Inattention Grasping Home-based Therapy (SIGHT). It requires people to lift wooden rods of different lengths. Once a person is familiar with the task, they can practice on their own at a time convenient to them in their homes. The investigators have developed the first computerized version of SIGHT (c-SIGHT) as well as a novel diagnostic test for neglect using portable low-cost motion-tracking technology that can be used in the patient's home. In the proposed study, the investigators will investigate how usable and acceptable this technology is in people's homes. Stroke survivors (recruited from community settings) will undergo a 7-day self-led training at their homes with c-SIGHT. At the end of the intervention, 1:1 semi-structured interviews will be carried out with both stroke survivors and carers to investigate usability and acceptability of c-SIGHT. Moreover, spatial neglect, carer burden and motor function will be assessed pre- and post-completion of c-SIGHT.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

c-SIGHT

SIGHT requires participants to grasp and lift rods with their less impaired arm.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

c-SIGHT (computorized spatial innatention grasping home-based therapy)

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

C-SIGHT will be self-administered at people's homes. c-SIGHT is a computerized therapy administered via people's television. The therapy involves performing repeated rod lifts with the less impaired arm in response to auditory and visual instructions presented on the television screen connected to a laptop. A small motion-tracking camera monitors rod lifts during therapy sessions. People will be asked to self-administer c-SIGHT for 1 hour a day (30min after breakfast and 30min after lunch) for 7 consecutive days. The first day of therapy will be performed with a therapist there for training purposes.
