Telerehabilitation for visual field defects with a multisensory training: a feasibility study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Acquired homonymous visual field defects (HVFDs) result in significant disability, reducing quality of life. Spontaneous recovery occurs within the first months, then the likelihood of vision recovery decreases, making rehabilitation necessary. HVFDs rehabilitation is typically lengthy and intensive, done on an outpatient basis, hardly compatible with the return to everyday life. Telerehabilitation represents an option for continuing the therapy in the chronic phase of the disease, offering long-term support after hospital discharge. It also allows individuals with HVFDs to exercise independently, intensively, and actively at home, in a familiar environment, under remote supervision. However, the efficacy of telerehabilitation for chronic HVFDs in adults still requires e
