Multisensory stimulation for the rehabilitation of unilateral spatial neglect

from Neuropsychological Rehabilitation

Multisensory integration mechanisms, largely spared in USN patients, may temporally modulate spatial orienting. In this pilot study, the effects of an intensive audio-visual Multisensory Stimulation (MS) on USN were assessed, and compared with those of a treatment that ameliorates USN, Prismatic Adaptation (PA).
