Unilateral spatial neglect is a common consequence of stroke that directly affects the performance of activities of daily living. This impairment is traditionally assessed with paper-and-pencil tests that can lack correspondence to real life and are easily compensated. Virtual reality can immerse patients in more ecological scenarios, thus providing therapists with new tools to assess and train the effects of this impairment in simulated real tasks. This paper presents the clinical validation and convergent validity of a low-cost virtual reality system for training street-crossing in stroke patients with and without neglect. The performance of neglect patients was significantly worse than the performance of non-neglect and healthy participants. In addition, several correlations between the scores in the system and in the traditional scales were detected.
单侧空间忽略是中风的常见后果，直接影响日常生活活动的表现。这种损伤传统上通过纸笔测试进行评估，这些测试可能与现实生活不符，并且很容易被代偿。虚拟现实可以让患者沉浸在更具生态性的场景中，从而为治疗师提供评估和训练这种损伤在模拟真实任务中影响的新工具。本文介绍了一种用于训练中风患者穿越街道的低成本虚拟现实系统的临床验证和收敛效度，包括有和无忽略的患者。忽略患者的表现明显差于非忽略和健康参与者的表现。此外，还检测到系统得分与传统量表得分之间的几个相关性。
