About this trial

The goal of this observational study is to evaluate the clinical usability and diagnostic performance of newly developed web-based Star Cancellation and Line Bisection tests in assessing visuospatial neglect in hemiplegic stroke patients. It will also compare these digital tests with conventional paper-and-pencil assessments.

The main questions it aims to answer are:

Can the web-based Star Cancellation and Line Bisection tests accurately distinguish between stroke patients with and without visuospatial neglect? Do digital test parameters (such as completion time, search speed, and search patterns) provide additional clinical information beyond conventional test scores? Researchers will compare the results of the web-based tests with standard paper-and-pencil tests to evaluate their diagnostic accuracy and clinical validity.

Participants will:

Complete conventional paper-and-pencil Star Cancellation and Line Bisection tests Perform web-based (digital) versions of the same tests using a tablet and stylus Undergo routine clinical and cognitive assessments as part of standard care Provide demographic and clinical information

Eligibility criteria

Qualifiers

Age 18 to 80 years

First-ever ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke

Hemiplegia secondary to stroke

Stroke in the subacute or chronic phase, defined as 1 to 24 months after stroke onset

Disqualifiers

Severe visual field defect not attributable to visuospatial neglect, such as isolated homonymous hemianopia

Severe upper extremity motor impairment or apraxia preventing interaction with the tablet or stylus pen

Inability to understand test instructions, cooperate with the assessment, or complete the evaluation process
