Effect of Computer-Assisted Cognitive Rehabilitation in Unilateral Spatial Neglect Patients with Brain Damage
- Conditions
- Diseases of the nervous system
- Registration Number
- KCT0003420
- Lead Sponsor
- Hanyang University Seoul Hospital
- Brief Summary
In this study, scores on the VST and VRT significantly improved in the CACR group, compared to the CR group, in brain damaged patients with hemiplegic neglect. The effect size for the variables in the CACR group indicated at least moderate improvement compared to the CR group. Thus, CACR may be a more useful intervention to improve attention and memory in brain damaged patients with hemiplegic neglect. Henceforth, classification of specific diseases and long-term follow-up studies on CACR depending on the functional status of patients are required.
