Knowledge Translation in Right Brain Rehabilitation: A Feasibility Study of Prism Treatment After Acute Stroke (P6.210)
Conclusions:Fewer patients had spatial neglect than expected, but we demonstrated feasible knowledge translation for spatial neglect care in an underserved setting. An active-learning approach may be key to clinician engagement. Future research in stroke centers will help clarify the impact of neglect assessment and treatment on quality outcomes.Disclosure: Dr. Barrett has received personal compensation for activities with Kessler Foundation as an employee.
