About this trial
Acquired brain injury" refers to brain damage that impacts neurological processing, making daily activities challenging and often causing vision issues like binocular dysfunction, oculomotor problems, and visual field loss. In Spain, visual rehabilitation is limited, although it is more common in other countries.
These patients generally need an interdisciplinary approach involving professionals like physiotherapists and optometrists and often face mobility, balance, and spatial perception difficulties. Treatment tools include lenses, prisms, and technologies like virtual reality (VR). The Visionary VR program, presented by Dr. Portela, has shown promising results in visual field recovery by stimulating the affected area.
Visual rehabilitation is based on brain plasticity and involves three key strategies:
Prisms to expand the visual field. Compensatory therapy to improve eye movement. Restitution therapy to restore the visual field.
Eligibility criteria
Qualifiers
Adult subjects diagnosed with acquired brain injury either from a stroke or trauma.
Subjects without cognitive impairment.
Subjects without pre-existing musculoskeletal disorders prior to the acquired brain injury.
Subjects without hemineglect.
Disqualifiers
Not signing the informed consent.
Previous severe mental pathology to eliminate possible confounding factors if their daily activities are already affected.
Uncontrolled epilepsy.
Subjects with glaucoma or retinal pathologies affecting the visual field.
