ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Unilateral spatial neglect (USN) is a stroke complication of stroke. Optokinetic stimulation (OKS) is one of the treatments, but its effects on motor symptoms, such as poverty or alterations in movements on the affected side, are not clear yet. The aim of this study will be to evaluate the OKS effects on the perceptual and postural complications of patients with USN.

Methods and analysis

The research will take place at the Faculty of Nursing and Physiotherapy, University of Salamanca, 102 patients older than 18 years with diagnosed USN will participate. The intervention group will receive 2 weekly OKS session for 10 weeks. Virtual reality glass
