Brief Summary

The growing field of new technologies offers new perspectives for neurorehabilitation. Serious games are a promising solution in the rehabilitation of cognitive impairments, and they may be useful in the rehabilitation of unilateral spatial neglect. Investigators developed a rehabilitation program for visual exploration training with a serious game and investigated its efficiency. Twelve patients with unilateral spatial neglect after a right hemispheric stroke were recruited. Six patients assigned to a group received both serious game training and conventional rehabilitation, and after only conventional rehabilitation; and six patients assigned to another group received first conventional rehabilitation and then serious game training and conventional rehabilitation. The investigators compared the two groups after rehabilitation.

Conditions

Stroke; Unilateral Spatial Neglect

Study Design

• Allocation Method: RANDOMIZED
• Intervention Model: CROSSOVER
• Primary Study Purpose: TREATMENT
• Blinding Strategy: DOUBLE

Study Groups

Group 1

Each patient received 2 rehabilitations : a serious game training and a conventional rehabilitation first (during 3 weeks) and then conventional rehabilitation alone (during 3 weeks)

Group Type: ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

serious game rehabilitation

Intervention Type: BEHAVIORAL

The SG rehabilitation was proposed to be played four times per week for three weeks, for a total of 12 sessions, with 15 min per session (= 60 minutes per week). Conventional rehabilitation comprised five sessions of 45 min of neuropsychological rehabilitation using classical exploration training (= 225 minutes per week).

Group 2

Each patient received 2 rehabilitations for 3 weeks: a conventional rehabilitation first (during 3 weeks) and then both serious game training and a conventional rehabilitation (during 3 weeks)

Group Type: ACTIVE_COMPARATOR
