The aim of this study was to investigate whether it is possible to strengthen the rehabilitation of spatial hemineglect by combining standard training for spatial scanning with optokinetic stimulation. A simple randomized design was used: one group of neglect patients was treated with a combination of the two techniques, and a second group received only the standard treatment. Both treatments were given for six consecutive weeks and produced significant improvements. However, addition of the optokinetic stimulation did not improve the patients' performance. Also, none of the independent variables (i.e., presence/absence of hemianopia) predicted the positive effect occasionally observed in individual patients.
本研究的目的是调查将空间扫描的标准训练与视动刺激相结合是否有可能加强对空间偏侧忽略的康复治疗。采用了简单随机设计:一组忽略患者接受两种技术的联合治疗,另一组仅接受标准治疗。两种治疗均连续进行六周,且均产生了显著改善。然而,添加视动刺激并未改善患者的表现。此外,没有一个自变量(即是否存在偏盲)能够预测个别患者偶尔观察到的积极效果。
