Interventions/Control_1

Participants will perform all three sets of VR programs in the assigned order. Each session lasts approximately 10 minutes. A washout period of at least 48 hours is observed between sessions. The intervention consists of a total of three sessions. The VR equipment used will be Vi-dere (Sysnet). This is a VR device approved as a medical device for USN assessment and training. Participants will wear VR goggles while seated in a chair. The surrounding environment will be designed so that there are no objects within the participants reach.
Basic Task:
Upon putting on the VR headset, participants can see the target object displayed within the VR space. Note that no objects other than the target are placed in the VR space. Participants hold the controller in their right (or left) hand, raise it above their head, and then perform a reaching movement toward the target object. The target disappears upon contact and reappears when the participant raises their hand above their head again. The target is positioned in one of three locations: front, right, or left. Visual deviation caused by the prism is uniformly set to 10 degrees to the right.
Three Sets to Be Performed:
Set 1 (Conventional Method Evaluation After 20 PA Trials):
After performing 20 reaching trials with the prism (with the visual field shifted 10 degrees to the right), perform one reaching trial without the prism (with no visual field shift) on the 21st trial.
After that, perform 10 reaching trials with the prism (for a total of 30 PA trials), followed by one reaching trial without the prism.

Interventions/Control_2

Set 2 (Conventional Method Evaluation after 30 PA trials):
After performing 30 reaching trials with the prism, perform one reaching trial without the prism on the 31st trial.

Interventions/Control_3

Set 3 (New Method Continuous Evaluation):
Perform 33 consecutive reaching trials with the prism. During this sequence, the 11th, 22nd, and 33rd trials are switched to evaluation trials without the prism.
