An Assessment of the Prevalence of Spatial Neglect in Stroke Survivors With Aphasia With Option of Prism Adaptation Treatment (PAT) Protocol
The purpose of this study is to determine if stroke survivors with aphasia have spatial
neglect (Phase 1). If they are determined to have the condition Phase 2 will be offered:
which is prism adaptation treatment. This is a pilot study that will be performed with 4-5
subjects.

Spatial neglect is a disorder that may occur after a brain injury such as stroke. Spatial
neglect may affect stroke recovery. One example of this heterogeneous condition: Individuals
with spatial neglect often pay more attention to one side of what they are looking at, even
though they have no difficulty seeing. The study investigators would like to screen stroke
survivors with aphasia because they may also have spatial neglect (right neglect after left
hemisphere stroke), which is said by the literature to occur in 25% of cases. If it is
identified, a treatment approach will be offered, to attempt to remediate the condition
using prism goggles, following a prism treatment protocol based on previous studies.
