NCT02309853 | Unknown

• 1 other identifier: P40907
• Study Type: interventional
• Target: 16
• Locations: 1 country
• Sites: 1

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether 20 Sessions of 30 minutes with a visual and tactile scanning training in the personal, peripersonal and extrapersonal space combined with trunk rotation will be feasible and provide better results compared to 20 Sessions of 30 minutes of a standard visual scanning programme.

Conditions

Hemispatial Neglect

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

Study Arms (2)

Visual and tactile scanning training

EXPERIMENTAL

20 Sessions of 30 minutes with a visual and tactile scanning training in the personal, peripersonal and extrapersonal space combined with trunk rotation

Other: Visual and tactile scanning training

Unimodal visual scanning training

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

20 sessions of 30 minutes with traditional uni-modal visual scanning training

Other: Uni-modal visual scanning training

Interventions

Visual and tactile scanning training OTHER

20 Sessions of 30 minutes with a visual and tactile scanning training in the personal, peripersonal and extrapersonal space and trunk rotation. The intervention includes visual or tactile scanning training in three different spaces and will be individually adapted to the needs of the patients. 1. Visual or tactile scanning in the personal space 2. Visual or tactile scanning and trunk rotation in the peripersonal space 3. Visual scanning and trunk rotation in the extrapersonal space

Visual and tactile scanning training

Uni-modal visual scanning training OTHER

20 sessions of 30 minutes with traditional uni-modal visual scanning training in the peripersonal space.

Unimodal visual scanning training
