Details and patient eligibility

About

Unilateral spatial neglect (USN) is a highly-prevalent neuropsychological syndrome following a cerebral stroke characterized by massive impairments in daily life. The evaluation and the rehabilitation of USN encounter many limits whereas immersive virtual reality (VR) could be an efficient tool to go through these limits by imitating an environment of perception and action very close to the real one. The investigators will test a multisensory battery of evaluation based on VR for the diagnostic of USN.

Spatial cognition assessment

Experimental group

Description:

A single session of spatial cognition assessment (baseline) will be proposed to participants. This assessment will be based on paper-and-pencil tasks and immersive virtual reality tasks (with an HTC Vive Pro Head-Mounted-Display). The assessment will last around 1 hour.

Treatment:

Behavioral: Spatial cognition assessment
