Overview

The aim of this phase is to examine the feasibility and acceptability of the Augmented Reality (AR)-based and electroencephalography (EEG)-based neglect detection and rehabilitation tool.

Interventions

  • Behavioral augmented reality
    The participants will be wearing an EEG cap and Augmented Reality headset (AR-based EEG-guided system) for 10 sessions with a licensed occupational therapist, provided in addition to usual rehabilitation care (either in inpatient rehabilitation or at home). These sessions will focus on activities of daily living that the participants want to practice. All sessions will last approximately 1 hour. These sessions will be scheduled around the existing therapy schedule to cause the least amount of in

Primary outcome measures

  • Accuracy; indicated by percent agreement between participant report and EEG-based assessment of neglect [Time frame: week 4]
  • Reliability; indicated by correlation coefficient between two consecutive sessions of EEG recording [Time frame: week 4]
Secondary outcome measures (2)
  • Technology Satisfaction; indicated by a mean score of 3 or higher on the Quebec User Evaluation of Satisfaction with Assistive Technology [Time frame: week 4]
  • Program Satisfaction; indicated by mean score of 3 or greater on the Client Satisfaction Questionnaire [Time frame: week 4]

Eligibility criteria

Inclusion criteria

  • ages18 and older
  • acute stroke
  • admitted to inpatient rehabilitation
  • presence of neglect (Behavioral Inattention Test total score <129, or scoring below pre-defined cutoff score in at least one of the six subtests)
  • more than 10/% missed targets on the Augmented Reality Screening Test
  • intact vibration (positive test on Vibration Sensation Test)
  • intact auditory function (positive test on Auditory Sensation Test)
