Virtual Reality for Neglect Diagnostics (KMS-Neglect)

November 28, 2018 updated by: Andreas Meisel, Charite University, Berlin, Germany
Compared to the classical "paper and pencil"-tests, testing patients in our virtual reality setup might have a higher sensitivity and specificity.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Feasibility
Time Frame: within the first 2 years after stroke
Feasibility of the use of a virtual reality setup in the diagnostics of neglect
within the first 2 years after stroke

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Sensitivity and Specificity
Time Frame: within the first 2 years after stroke
The diagnostics of neglect via a virtual reality setup is more sensitive and more specific than the standard diagnostics via "paper-and-pencil" Tests
within the first 2 years after stroke
mri (functional (resting state) and structural imaging
Time Frame: within the first 2 years after stroke
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.
within the first 2 years after stroke
