Overview
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. The investigators developed a rehabilitation program for visual exploration training with a serious game and investigated its efficiency.
Six patients with unilateral spatial neglect after a right hemispheric stroke were recruited. Three patients assigned to the experimental group received both serious game training and conventional rehabilitation, and three assigned to the control group received only conventional rehabilitation. The investigators compared the two groups after rehabilitation.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Bells test
Time Frame: up to 4 weeks
35 bells are spatially distributed among distractors on sheet of paper (15 on the left side, 5 on the center and 15 on the right side). Subjects have to cancel as many bells as possible. The number of omissions on the left and on the right side is recorded.
Secondary Outcomes
- Bisection of lines(up to 4 weeks)
- Ogden scene copying(up to 4 weeks)
- Reading task(up to 4 weeks)
