One Treatment, Multiple Targets: Prism Adaptation and Left Brain Stroke Rehabilitation
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Prism Adaptation Treatment for Aphasia and 2 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 13 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Of the 15,000 Veterans who are hospitalized for stroke each year more than half experience spatial and motor impairments and pain. Spatial-motor-sensory problems limit functioning and independence, which is costly to Veterans, their families, and society. Currently, spatial-motor-sensory problems are targeted using different treatments. However, there is a treatment that has shown promise in simultaneously targeting spatial function, motor function and pain in right-brain stroke. The investigators propose to investigate the feasibility of using adapted spatial-motor sensory assessment and treatment procedures for Veterans with left-brain stroke who have language and cognitive impairment. The next step will be to conduct a large-scale study focused on this multi-target treatment for more efficient and effective stroke rehabilitation. The investigators expect this line of research to increase functioning, independence and quality of life in Veteran stroke survivors.
