For the first time, we administered reversing prism exposure to treat optic ataxia in a single patient with Balint-Holmes Syndrome (BHS), who also underwent specific trainings for simultanagnosia and ocular apraxia.
By an introduction and withdrawal experimental design, we observed that the active treatment periods improved patient's visuospatial defects and functional autonomy.
We thus provided a proof of principle supporting the use of reversing prism exposure in optic ataxia within an integrated and personalized rehabilitative approach for BHS.
我们首次对一名患有巴林特 - 霍姆斯综合征（BHS）的患者进行反向棱镜暴露治疗视觉性共济失调，该患者还接受了针对同时失认症和眼性失用症的特定训练。
通过引入和撤去实验设计，我们观察到积极治疗期改善了患者的视觉空间缺陷和功能自主性。
因此，我们提供了一项原理证明，支持在针对BHS的综合个性化康复方法中使用反向棱镜暴露治疗视觉性共济失调。
