Brief summary (registry, in English)
Spatial neglect is a common disorder after stroke which leads to problems with noticing or responding to information from the left side of the body or space. This condition has been linked to reduced independence in a wide range of daily life activities including eating, dressing, and mobility. Despite its high prevalence in stroke patients, there is currently no standard of care for spatial neglect. Prism adaptation (PA) is a promising treatment, however, there are limitations to using PA in standard clinical care as it requires daily exposure for at least two weeks, yet access to equipment and supervision is limited. To solve this problem, the investigators have developed a new game-like PA treatment (Peg-the-Mole, PTM) that can be used at home without the need for daily in person therapist set-up and supervision. In this study the investigators aim to evaluate the feasibility and effectiveness of the gamified and portable PA procedure in an inpatient and home setting, with the hypothesis that the PA procedure will improve patient's neglect symptoms.
