Summary

This study aims to find out if doing two treatments together-Prism Adaptation Therapy (PAT) and Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS)-will help people who have had a stroke pay better attention to one side of their body, better than just doing PAT by itself.

In addition to understanding how the intervention improves function the investigators would like to see if things like how old someone is, how long ago their stroke happened, where their brain was damaged, or how bad the neglect is, affect how well the treatment works.

To measure if the interventions make a difference the following outcome measures will be used.

Catherine Bergego Scale (CBS):

This is a test to see how severe someone's neglect is. Trained therapists use 10 simple tasks to check if a person is ignoring the left or right side.

Wolf Motor Function Test (WMFT):

This test checks how well a stroke survivor can move their arm. It helps the therapists see if the treatments improve movement and reaction time

People can join the study if they had a stroke, score at least "1" on the Catherine Bergego Scale, and they can understand and agree to take part in the study.

People cannot join the study if they have had more than two strokes, have or had seizures, or have a serious mental illness like schizophrenia, or have cancer in the arm that was affected by the stroke, they have a pacemaker or defibrillator in their body, and if they can't feel their arm on the side affected by the stroke

Once the study is done, the main results will be shared with the therapists who work at the NeuroRehab and Balance Center, like the physical, speech, and occupational therapists.

Conditions

  • Unilateral Spatial Neglect
  • Stroke

Interventions

DEVICE

Prism adaptation training combined with TENS

Subjects in the experimental group will receive both prism adaptation training and TENS to identify affects on USN. To date there are no published studies combining these treatments to minimize USN.

OTHER

PAT only

Subjects will receive prism adaptation training (PAT) only wearing prism goggles during a functional reaching task during occupational therapy.
