“…Other positive studies on HEP did not refer to group differences at baseline which could have explained significant improvements. 7,14 But is our study result really a proof for failure of the therapeutic approach in general? There is good evidence for a beneficial impact of HEP and OKS when applied as monotherapies in chronic neglect patients.…”

Background and Purpose-Right hemisphere stroke patients frequently experience spatial neglect, a severe lack of awareness for contralesional hemispace. Although neglect counts among the strongest predictors for poor functional outcome after stroke, there is no established therapy, particularly not for the acute stage. Methods-In a randomized controlled trial, we compared the combined treatment of hemifield eye patching and repetitive optokinetic stimulation in acute stroke patients with neglect to the spontaneous course. Outcome measures were a neuropsychological test battery for neglect as well as scales of functional independence and clinical impairment.Outcomes were assessed at baseline (day 1), post treatment (day 8), and at 1-month follow-up (day 30). Results-Final analysis included 21 acute right hemisphere stroke patients with neglect (23 enrolled, 2 lost to follow-up) allocated either to the treatment (1 week hemifield eye patching and daily sessions of optokinetic stimulation, n=11) or the control group (no neglect-specific treatment, n=10). At baseline, both groups did not differ in neuropsychological test performance, clinical impairment, or functional disability. At the post treatment session, both groups had improved in all these measures, and results were stable or further improved at follow-up. However, there was no significant difference in this change between the treatment and the control group. Conclusions-An early intervention of combined hemifield eye patching and optokinetic stimulation in acute stroke patients with spatial neglect has no additive effect to the spontaneous remitting course of the disorder.

“…However, this was not the case. In previous studies, [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14] researchers have reported the influence of right eye patching or right-field eye patching on left spatial neglect. However, there is currently no general agreement about the effect.…”

“…Conclusion: The results suggest that neglected-field eye patching for hemispatial neglect might improve visual attention, especially the non-spatial aspects. In previous studies, [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14] eye patching has been used as a technique to adjust visual information. However, there are differing opinions regarding the influence of eye patching on visual attention in hemispatial neglect.…”

“…Finally, the group that examined spatial neglect identified 11 studies that evaluated the effectiveness of various interventions (see Table 2; Cherney, Halper, & Papachronis, 2003;Edmans, Webster, & Lincoln, 2000;Fanthome, Lincoln, Drummond, & Walker, 1995;Kalra, Perez, Gupta, & Wittink, 1997;Robertson, Gray, Pentland, & Waite, 1990;Robertson, McMillan, MacLeod, Edgeworth, & Brock, 2002;Rossi, Kheyfets, & Reding, 1990;Rusconi, Meinecke, Sbrissa, & Bernardini, 2002;Weinberg et al, 1977;Wiart et al, 1997;Zeloni, Farne, & Baccini, 2002). Again, the group concluded that although some evidence has supported the effectiveness of the interventions in improving performance on impairment-level testing, insufficient evidence exists to support or refute the effectiveness of any of the intervention approaches in reducing disability and improving independence in everyday life activities (Bowen & Lincoln, 2007).…”

Rehabilitation, Disability, and Participation Research: Are Occupational Therapy Researchers Addressing Cognitive Rehabilitation After Stroke?

I reviewed articles published in the American Journal of Occupational Therapy (AJOT) in 2009 and 2010 to assess (1) whether research was published in the practice area of rehabilitation, disability, and participation and (2) the evidence being produced in an underdeveloped subcategory of this practice area: cognitive rehabilitation after stroke. The review revealed one intervention effectiveness study that addressed cognitive rehabilitation poststroke published in the 2-year period. Further analysis of outside repositories of evidence in this area revealed that although some evidence supports rehabilitation approaches for people with cognitive dysfunction after a stroke, little research has been devoted to this practice area. The poststroke cognitive intervention approaches in use have been shown to have little or no effect on improving everyday life activity. Occupational therapy has a key research and practice role with the poststroke population, and occupational therapists should be at the forefront in developing the science to support the effectiveness of their services.
