Balance and attention training for stroke survivors with neglect
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests a special balance and attention training program for people who have had a stroke on the right side of the brain and now have trouble paying attention to the left side of their world (called neglect). The training may help improve balance and daily activities.
