Collaborative Development of a Virtual Reality Scenario, Integrated Into a Robotic Upper Limb Rehabilitation Device, for the Treatment of Unilateral Spatial Negligence (NSU) Through Mutisensory Stimulation: Feasibility and Usability Pilot Study
The goal of this pilot clinical trial is to develop an integrated motor and cognitive rehabilitation program and evaluate the usability and acceptability of a new virtual reality scenario designed for the MOTORE device. This study will focus on the rehabilitation of the upper limbs in post-stroke patients with plegia and left-sided hemi-inattention. The main questions it aims to answer are:
* The evaluation of the usability and acceptability of the newly developed scenario * The evaluation of the effects of the new scenario on patients' hemi-inattention * The evaluation of changes in upper limb functional parameters
Participants will undergo a total of 13 rehabilitation sessions, each lasting 45 minutes, using the new scenario, including an initial and final assessment.
Inclusion: Presence of a diagnosis of right hemispheric stroke; Presence of a diagnosis of hemi-inattention (Apple test); Presence of left hemiplegia (Fugl-Meyer Assessment Upper Limb ≤58); Adjusted Montreal Cognitive Assessment <20; Written informed consent.
Exclusion: Presence of cognitive decline prior to the event; Presence of previous stroke events; Orthopaedic, neurological, or psychiatric disorders that could interfere with the study procedures and motor or cognitive assessments; Presence of osteoarticular rigidity (e.g., ankylosis, functional limitations with traumatic or degenerative origin) or spasticity in the affected upper limb (Modified Ashworth Scale ≥3 on shoulder, elbow, or wrist); Inability to maintain a sitting position; Presence of severe visual disabilities; Recent injection of botulinum toxin in the upper limb or planned injection of botulinum toxin during the study period; Unstable fractures of the upper limb; Severe osteoporosis; Skin lesions on the upper limb.
