Summary

This trial is testing a virtual reality system to help people with spatial neglect, a common problem after stroke.

Who is the study for?

What is being tested?

The study is testing a new virtual reality (VR) therapy game designed to help improve attention and awareness of space in people who experience spatial neglect following a stroke.
