Abstract:
AIM:Treatment efficacy is established via controlled research trials, but treatment in real-world clinical environments is typically highly variable and may differ from research protocols by necessity. Here, we examined provision of visual retraining for adults after neurological injury at an outpatient rehabilitation program in Calgary, Canada. METHODS:Retrospective chart audits extracted demographic data, assessment outcomes, and details related to provision of training. RESULTS:Treatment was provided to individuals with both visual field and visual-perceptual impairments due to neurological injury (mostly stroke). Tools and techniques of visual retraining at this program are discussed, the common denominator being repetitive practice of compensatory visual behaviors. Across this multisite program, there was significant variability in the number of treatment sessions, 13.00 (±10.21) sessions for those with visual-perceptual impairments and 14.41 (±9.63) sessions for those with field loss. Descriptive statistics and confidence intervals suggest improved outcomes on some measures for those with visual field and visual perceptual impairments. CONCLUSIONS:Our data suggest that visual retraining is feasible in this clinical outpatient setting. Implications for rehabilitation This program of visual retraining was provided to individuals with visual impairment (e.g., hemianopia) and visual perceptual impairment (e.g., unilateral spatial neglect) as a result of neurological injury. In this outpatient program, visual rehabilitation was feasible and appeared to improve outcomes among a heterogeneous clinical population. Fundamental characteristics of visual compensatory training at this program included repetitive practice of adaptive scanning behaviors across multiple contexts to promote automaticity and generalization of skills.
