Unilateral spatial neglect rehabilitation supported by a digital solution: two case-studies.
Summary
Digital tools like the ReMoVES platform offer promising new ways to assess and treat unilateral spatial neglect (USN). Combining cognitive therapy with transcranial direct-current stimulation (tDCS) shows potential for USN rehabilitation.
Area of Science:
- Neuroscience
- Rehabilitation Medicine
- Assistive Technology
Background:
- Unilateral spatial neglect (USN) presents challenges in rehabilitation.
- Digital solutions are increasingly explored for USN assessment and treatment.
- Integrating digital tools with traditional therapies offers synergistic benefits.
Purpose of the Study:
- To present case studies on USN rehabilitation using a novel digital platform.
- To evaluate the combined efficacy of cognitive therapy and tDCS for USN.
- To demonstrate the data collection capabilities of the ReMoVES platform in clinical settings.
Main Methods:
- Utilized the ReMoVES platform for cognitive exergames and activities.
- Administered transcranial direct-current stimulation (tDCS) concurrently with cognitive therapy.
- Collected and analyzed patient data during and after the rehabilitation process.
Main Results:
- Presented data from two case studies involving USN patients.
- Demonstrated the feasibility of combining digital cognitive therapy with tDCS.
- Highlighted the data-driven insights provided by the ReMoVES platform.
Conclusions:
- The combination of ReMoVES platform-based cognitive therapy and tDCS is a viable approach for USN rehabilitation.
- This preliminary study supports further investigation in larger, multi-center trials.
- Digital solutions like ReMoVES can enhance the assessment and treatment of USN.
