In this episode, we explore Kessler Foundation Prism Adaptation Treatment (KF-PAT®), a promising, low-cost therapy that uses special goggles to shift the visual field and retrain the brain through simple pointing exercises. This innovative approach helps stimulate spatial awareness and reduce neglect symptoms. We dive into a major review led by Kessler Foundation researchers, analyzing over two decades of PAT data from more than 4,000 stroke patients across 16 U.S. rehabilitation hospitals. While real-world clinical use shows strong benefits, formal trials have produced mixed results due to variations in treatment protocols. Learn how key factors—like prism strength, session frequency, and measurable after-effects—are shaping the future of stroke rehabilitation and helping integrate PAT into more recovery programs worldwide. ========================================================= Podcast Links: Read the full study, doi.org/10.3389/fresc.2025.1539887 Visit our website to learn more about clinical tools that support spatial neglect recovery developed by Foundation scientists, featuring Kessler Foundation Neglect Assessment Process (KF-NAP®) and Kessler Foundation Prism Adaptation Treatment (KF-PAT®) - https://KesslerFoundation.org/research/stroke/rehabilitation Read this summary at https://KesslerFoundation.org/xxxxxxxx Missed a summary, check out our Real-Life Science archives, https://KesslerFoundation.org/publication-archives#block-consumer-friendly-tbi-study-summaries Interested in participating in our research remotely or in-person?
