This study introduces the Functional ExtraPersonal Space Neglect Test (FEPSNeT) using virtual reality to assess visual neglect. The FEPSNeT shows potential for evaluating extrapersonal space neglect, complementing traditional tests.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Rehabilitation Medicine
  • Human-Computer Interaction

Background:

  • Visual neglect is a common neuropsychological deficit following brain injury.
  • Traditional diagnostic tools primarily assess peripersonal space neglect.
  • Neglect's multidimensionality necessitates varied assessment methods across spatial regions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the reliability and validity of the novel Functional ExtraPersonal Space Neglect Test (FEPSNeT).
  • To explore the utility of a virtual reality system for assessing extrapersonal space neglect.

Main Methods:

  • A feasibility study involving stroke patients with right-hemisphere damage.
  • Administration of the FEPSNeT using the GRAIL virtual reality system.
  • Comparison with established tests: Line Bisection Test (LBT), Star Cancelation Test (SCT), and Catherine Bergego Scale (CBS).

Published on: February 12, 2020

Main Results:

  • The FEPSNeT demonstrated nearly acceptable test-retest reliability.
  • Sufficient construct validity was indicated by slower left-sided reaction times in patients with asymmetrical responses.
  • No significant correlation was found with LBT and SCT, but a low correlation existed with the CBS.

Conclusions:

  • The FEPSNeT assesses neglect in extrapersonal space, distinct from peripersonal space evaluated by paper-and-pencil tests.
  • This virtual reality-based test offers added value for comprehensive visual neglect assessment.
  • FEPSNeT may enhance diagnostic capabilities for visual neglect in clinical rehabilitation settings.
