“…These VR outcomes are consistent with the severity of the attentional impairments and support the results of previous studies (Kim et al, 2010;Kim et al, 2004;Peskine et al, 2011;Jannink, Aznar, Kort, van de Vis, Veltink, & van der Kooij, 2009). Previous research has also demonstrated that head rotations and other parameters can distinguish stroke subjects with USN from those without neglect.…”

“…The system presented by Katz et al (Katz, Ring, Naveh, Kizony, Feintuch, & Weiss, 2005) and Weiss et al (Weiss, Naveh, & Katz, 2003) had graphical limitations and used the arrow keys of a keyboard to point the avatar's head left, right or forward to see whether vehicles were approaching from either direction. To overcome these limitations, Kim et al (Kim et al, 2010) and Peskine et al (Peskine et al, 2011) developed a 3D immersive world and used an HMD in an attempt to provide participants with a more realistic street-crossing scenario. However, the benefits of the increased realism may have been to the detriment of usability and cost.…”

“…Three previous studies have used 3D virtual street environments to assess (Kim et al, 2010;Peskine et al, 2011) and treat (Katz, Ring, Naveh, Kizony, Feintuch, & Weiss, 2005;Weiss, Naveh, & Katz, 2003) USN in a stroke population. While the assessment systems allowed subjects to interact using a head mounted display (HMD), a head tracker, and a mouse, the training system used a desktop monitor and a keyboard.…”

Unilateral spatial neglect is a common consequence of stroke that directly affects the performance of activities of daily living. This impairment is traditionally assessed with paper-and-pencil tests that can lack correspondence to real life and are easily compensated. Virtual reality can immerse patients in more ecological scenarios, thus providing therapists with new tools to assess and train the effects of this impairment in simulated real tasks. This paper presents the clinical validation and convergent validity of a low-cost virtual reality system for training street-crossing in stroke patients with and without neglect. The performance of neglected patients was significantly worse than the performance of non-neglected and healthy participants. In addition, several correlations between the scores in the system and in the traditional scales were detected.

“…These include the virtual supermarket [78][79][80], virtual wheelchair navigation [81] and a three-dimensional virtual street [82]. Listening to preferred music while engaged in a virtual reality task increases visual awareness versus adding non-preferred music or omitting music altogether [83].…”

Neurologic music therapy (NMT) has fostered recovery from complications in patients suffering from a wide variety of neurologic diseases. Combining music and virtual reality with standard rehabilitation therapies can improve patient compliance and make therapy more enjoyable. Listening to music can reduce epileptiform discharges and enhances brain plasticity. Music produces variations in brain anatomy between musicians and non-musicians. Music therapy is an inexpensive intervention to help post-stroke patients to recover faster and more efficiently if applied soon after the event. There is evidence that incorporating music into a rehabilitation program fosters recovery of hand function, dexterity, spatial movement, cognitive function, mood, coordination, stride length and memory. Learning words as lyrics, melodic intonation therapy and singing can help the aphasic patient to recover faster. NMT therapists are valuable members of the rehabilitation team. NMT has been approved by the World Rehabilitation Federation as an effective evidence based method of treatment.

“…The results indicated the sensitivity of the VR system for differentiating between negligent patients and control subjects, even though the similarity between the results of the VR system and a traditional test was less conclusive. More recently, Kim et al [12] examined the efficiency of a 3D immersive virtual street crossing program for the assessment of post-stroke patients [7][13]. The VR system consisted in a real street crossing that could evaluate extrapersonal space in patients and showed significant differences between negligent and non-negligent patients.…”

Abstract. Acquired brain injury (ABI) is a complex disease that involves loss of brain functions related to cognitive and motor capabilities and that can produce unilateral spatial neglect (USN). The heterogeneity of the symptoms of these disorders causes a lack of consensus on suitable tools for evaluation and treatment. Recently, several studies have initiated the application of virtual reality (VR) systems as an evaluation instrument for neuropsychological disorders. Our main objective was to evaluate the validity of the VR Street Crossing Test (VRSCT) as an assessment tool. Twenty-five patients with ABI were evaluated with traditional tests and with the VRSCT. The results showed significant correlations between the conventional tests and the measures obtained with the VRSCT in non-negligent patients. Moreover, the VRSCT indicated significant differences in performance of negligent and non-negligent subjects. These pilot results indicate that ABI patients with and without USN can be assessed by the therapists using the VRSCT system as a complementary tool.
