History of Changes
  Purpose

Compared to the classical "paper and pencil"-tests, testing patients in our virtual reality setup might have a higher sensitivity and specificity.


Condition Intervention
Spatial Neglect
Stroke
 Behavioral: virtual reality setup
Behavioral: paper and pencil tests
Other: c-mri

Study Type: Observational
Study Design: Observational Model: Cohort
Time Perspective: Prospective
Official Title: Virtual Reality for Neglect Diagnostics

Further study details as provided by Charite University, Berlin, Germany:

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Feasibility [ Time Frame: within the first 2 years after stroke ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    Feasibility of the use of a virtual reality setup in the diagnostics of neglect


Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Sensitivity and Specificity [ Time Frame: within the first 2 years after stroke ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    The diagnostics of neglect via a virtual reality setup is more sensitive and more specific than the standard diagnostics via "paper-and-pencil" Tests

  • mri (functional (resting state) and structural imaging [ Time Frame: within the first 2 years after stroke ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    We hypothesize that there are connectivity-based differences in the different stages of neglect and anatomical and functional connectivity correlates with respect to behavioural impairment.
