Time Course of a Misperception of Verticality and Its Characteristics in Post-stroke Participants

Belgium40 participantsStarted 2021-10-01

Plain-language summary

Little is known about the time course of verticality perception after stroke. This study aims to assess: * The time course of verticality perception (Subjective Visual, Haptic and Postural Vertical; resp., SVV, SHV, SPV); * The longitudinal interaction of the recovery of spatial disorders (e.g., different types of neglect, lateropulsion) with verticality perception; * The longitudinal interaction of motor function and outcomes (such as paresis, sitting balance and standing balance) and verticality perception. The participants will be repetitively assessed during the subacute phase post-stroke, to evaluate the time course of: * The SVV, SHV and SPV; * Spatial disorders (visuospatial and personal neglect, lateropulsion) * Motor function (lower limb strength, sitting and standing balance, functionality in ADL, trunk performance)

Inclusion Criteria: * First-ever, MRI- or CT-confirmed, ischemic or hemorrhagic supratentorial stroke; * Able to give written informed consent. Exclusion Criteria: * Bilateral lesions; * Vestibular dysfunction, symptomatic orthostatic hypotension or other pre-existing neurological conditions that could interfere with the assessments; * Inability to understand and follow basic verbal instructions; * Hemianopsia or other visual field deficits (glasses or corrective lenses are allowed) And a group of healthy controls to obtain normative data. These participants are eligible for inclusion if they are between 18 and 90 years old and do not suffer from vestibular dysfunction, symptomatic orthostatic hypotension or other neurological conditions that could interfere with the assessment.
