Abstract
- This study explores a VR-based intervention for Visuospatial neglect (VSN), a post-stroke condition. It aims to develop a VR task utilizing interactive visual-audio cues to improve sensory-motor training and assess its impact on VSN patients' engagement and performance. Collaboratively designed with physiotherapists, the VR task uses directional and auditory stimuli to alert and direct patients, tested over 12 sessions with two individuals. Results show a consistent decrease in task completion variability and positive patient feedback, highlighting the VR task's potential for enhancing engagement and suggesting its feasibility in rehabilitation. The study underlines the significance of collaborative design in healthcare technology and advocates for further research with a larger sample size to confirm the benefits of VR in VSN treatment, as well as its applicability to other multimodal disorders.<br />Comment: 29 pages, 8 figures, 5 tables
