Various therapeutic approaches have been developed for neglect. Many studies have demonstrated the effect of digital therapeutics (DTx) on neglect. However, few studies have reported the effects of DTx on egocentric and allocentric neglect. The differentiation of types of neglect and separate interventions is crucial in the rehabilitation process. In this article, seven studies on DTx on egocentric and allocentric neglect were reviewed. DTx, which was employed in these studies, could be classified as follows: (1) software adaptation in traditional treatment, (2) VR game using the head-mount display as treatment, and (3) the development of a new digital program like ReMoVES. In addition, more studies and more effective results were reported for egocentric neglect than for allocentric neglect. In future studies, each effect on egocentric and allocentric neglect should be identified in detail with the appropriate use of differential evaluation and long-term application of independent DTx.
针对忽视症已开发出多种治疗方法。许多研究已证明数字疗法(DTx)对忽视症的疗效。然而,很少有研究报告DTx对自我中心性忽视和空间性忽视的影响。在康复过程中,区分忽视症的类型并进行单独干预至关重要。本文综述了七项关于DTx对自我中心性忽视和空间性忽视的研究。这些研究中使用的DTx可分为以下几类:(1)传统治疗中的软件适配,(2)使用头戴式显示器作为治疗手段的虚拟现实游戏,以及(3)开发像ReMoVES这样的新数字程序。此外,关于自我中心性忽视的研究报告比空间性忽视的更多,结果也更有效。在未来的研究中,应通过适当使用差异评估和独立DTx的长期应用,详细确定其对自我中心性忽视和空间性忽视的各自影响。
