Summary

The purpose of this research study is to investigate the effectiveness of a new rehabilitation for visual hemianopia. The study team believes a cross-modal rehabilitation technique delivered by a virtual reality system can help restore the visual field for subjects with homonymous hemianopia.

Detailed description

The study tests a novel rehabilitation system, translated from promising cross-modal rehabilitation animal research, that is the first treatment capable of restoring the visual field for hemianopia patients. This noninvasive technique uses a virtual reality device to deliver visual and auditory stimulus. The goals of this study are to obtain proof of concept and procure rehabilitation data to support the development of this novel rehabilitation treatment.
