Prismatic Adaptation in Cognitive Rehabilitation

"The experimental treatment includes a session of prismatic adaptation, in which patients, wearing priasmatic lenses, performs pointing exercises using an 11'' tablet. The visual target is represented by a black squares randomly presented in one of three spatial positions of the tablet's screen (in the centre of the screen or at 21° to the right or to the left space). Taking into account the type of lesion resulting from traumatic brain injury, the prismatic deviation induced by the lenses will be changed alternately from right to left. Then patients will wear rightward prism lenses for 5 days and leftward prism lenses for other 5 days. The prismatic deviation will be randomized.~Following these prismatic adaptation, lasting 10 minutes, cognitive training with serious games will be performed, for the remaining 30 minutes."

patients receiving the same serious games for 10 days over a span of 2 weeks, withouth prismatic adaptation session.
