Summary

This study will measure if five minutes of vibration to the upper back neck muscles, prior to standard of care treatment, will improve symptoms of spatial neglect and/or activities of daily living function for patients who have had a stroke.

Detailed description

Spatial neglect is a common syndrome following stroke, most frequently of the right side of the brain. Such patients fail to be aware of objects or people to their left. This study is being done to learn if vibration treatment can improve visual/spatial neglect and activities of daily living in stroke patients better than current standard intervention.This treatment will be performed by occupational therapist practitioners prior to regular occupational therapy session using a vibration tool.
