Summary

Participants in this study will help test and develop a virtual reality (VR) system that is being designed to help people with spatial neglect after stroke.

Detailed description

Participants in this study will be tested to see if they have spatial neglect after their stroke, and the severity of such. Spatial neglect is a disorder that may occur after a stroke that leads to a person paying more attention to one side of their body over the other. Each testing session, they will perform paper and pencil neglect tests before and after playing a VR video game that is being designed as a potential future treatment. They will also give feedback on the game after the session is over. People who have spatial neglect after stroke are encouraged to apply.
