Objectives
Narrative objectives1
Unilateral spatial neglect (USN) is defined as a failure to report, respond, or orient to novel or meaningful stimuli, presented to the side opposite to the brain lesion. The most important clinical problem of USN is that it can interfere with the rehabilitation processes and cause poor functional outcome. Various rehabilitation techniques are explored for USN.
Rossetti and collegues reported, for the first time, that short term adaptation for rightward optical shift induced with prismatic lenses improved performance on various standard tests of left USN. Long-term effects (as long as 5 weeks) were also reported following an intensive twice-daily adaptation program for 2 weeks. However, there has been no randomized controlled trial (RCT) with sufficient sample size examining the effects of PA, and few studies are available demonstrating improvement not only in neuropsychological examinations but also in activities of daily living (ADL) with PA.
If greater efficacy of rehabilitation can be brought about by intervening USN early in the rehabilitation process, patients with USN might achieve higher ADL goals.
The purpose of this RCT is to test if PA improves functional outcomes for stroke patients with USN in the subacute stage.

Interventions/Control_1
Patients were seated at a desk on which a wooden table (height 30 cm) was placed. The top of the table had a semicircular shape with a radius of 30 cm, and three targets were marked at the center, right and left corners of its edge. Patients were asked to point to the three targets through the bottom of the table with their index finger according to the instruction of the therapists who directed three points randomly to the patients. First, they repeated the pointing task thirty times without prism glasses. Then they wore prism glasses which sifted their visual field 12 degrees to the right, and repeated pointing ninety times. After the prism adaptation, they took the prism glasses off and repeated pointing sixty times. Patients underwent two daily training sessions which took about 20 minutes for each, 5 days a week for 2 weeks, giving a total of 20 sessions.
The interventions occurred during their regularly scheduled rehabilitation sessions and all other routine interdisciplinary stroke rehabilitation was provided as usual.
Interventions/Control_2
Patients of the control group underwent the same training sessions with neutral plastic glasses instead of the prisms glasses.
The interventions occurred during their regularly scheduled rehabilitation sessions and all other routine interdisciplinary stroke rehabilitation was provided as usual.
