Serious Game Therapy in Neglect Patients

Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Unilateral Spatial Neglect; Stroke
• Interventions: Behavioral: serious game rehabilitation

• Registration Number: NCT05805748
• Lead Sponsor: Hopitaux de Saint-Maurice

Brief Summary

The growing field of new technologies offers new perspectives for neurorehabilitation. Serious games are a promising solution in the rehabilitation of cognitive impairments, and they may be useful in the rehabilitation of unilateral spatial neglect. Investigators developed a rehabilitation program for visual exploration training with a serious game and investigated its efficiency. Twelve patients with unilateral spatial neglect after a right hemispheric stroke were recruited. Six patients assigned to a group received both serious game training and conventional rehabilitation, and after only conventional rehabilitation; and six patients assigned to another group received first conventional rehabilitation and then serious game training and conventional rehabilitation. The investigators compared the two groups after rehabilitation.

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
Group 2	serious game rehabilitation	Each patient received 2 rehabilitations for 3 weeks: a conventional rehabilitation first (during 3 weeks) and then both serious game training and a conventional rehabilitation (during 3 weeks)
Group 1	serious game rehabilitation	Each patient received 2 rehabilitations : a serious game training and a conventional rehabilitation first (during 3 weeks) and then conventional rehabilitation alone (during 3 weeks)

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Behavioral Inattention Test (BIT)	up to 6 weeks	Behavioral Inattention Test (Wilson et al., 1987) (BIT) including the first part of conventional subtests: star and letter cancellation, line crossing, figure and shape copying, line bisection and representational drawing (total score /146)

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Catherine Bergego Scale (CBS)	up to 6 weeks	CBS for therapist (Bergego et al., 1995) is based on the direct observation of the therapist in ten standardised dailylife situations. The score ranges from 0 to 30 (higher scores indicating more severe neglect).
Functional Independence Measure (FIM)	up to 6 weeks	FIM (Minaire, 1991) is a basic indicator of patient disability. FIM is used to track the changes in the functional ability of a patient during an episode of hospital rehabilitation care.
