Testing of a Functional Outcome Measure for Those With Visual Field Defects
Paused
Conditions studied: Hemianopsia, Homonymous
In brief
This study is designed in two Phases. In phase 1, the Functional Outcome Measure will be tested to determine its validity and reliability in three populations, subjects that have not had a stroke and have no visual field defect, subjects that have had a stroke but do not have a visual field defect, and lastly subjects that have had a stroke and have a visual field defect. The second phase will employ an amended version of the functional outcome measure to be administered to two groups of subjects. The first group of subjects will be those subjects diagnosed with a visual field defect from retrochiasmatic insults and they will perform vision restoration therapy. The second group with a similar diagnosis to the first but who do not undergo vision restoration therapy.
