Multisensory Telerehabilitation for Visual Field Defects

Participants are trained at home, with remote supervision, for 3 weeks (5 days/week, 2 hours/day) using an audio-visual device suitable for telerehabilitation (AVDESK, Linari Medical). Specifically, visual stimuli (LEDs) appear on a semicircular panel, either alone or paired with an acoustic cues, at different eccentricities. Stimuli to the blind visual field (70%) and intact visual field (30%) are presented in random sequence. Patients are trained to scan the visual field by shifting their gaze (from the central fixation point) towards the visual target (with or without sounds), without head movements, and to report its presence by pressing the response key.
