单侧空间忽视是中风后经常发生的一种致残状况。受到忽视的人会遭受多种形式的空间缺陷，在许多情况下会损害日常功能。尚未找到成功的治疗方法。在过去的几十年里，人们提出了几种技术，但只有少数显示出持久的效果，而且没有一种可以完全恢复这种状况。忽视的诊断方法也可以得到改进。这种疾病通常是用纸笔方法诊断的，这种方法通常不会评估患者的日常任务，也不会解决某些形式的疾病。最近，出现了基于虚拟现实的有前途的新方法。虚拟现实技术为开发有效的忽视评估和治疗技术提供了巨大的机会，因为它们提供了丰富的、多模式的和高度可控的环境。为了促进该领域的进步，我们对当前工作进行了回顾和分析。我们描述了过去和正在进行的虚拟现实应用单方面忽视的研究，并讨论了现有的问题和新的发展方向。
Unilateral spatial neglect is a disabling condition frequently occurring after stroke. People with neglect suffer from various spatial deficits in several modalities, which in many cases impair everyday functioning. A successful treatment is yet to be found. Several techniques have been proposed in the last decades, but only a few showed long-lasting effects and none could completely rehabilitate the condition. Diagnostic methods of neglect could be improved as well. The disorder is normally diagnosed with pen-and-paper methods, which generally do not assess patients in everyday tasks and do not address some forms of the disorder. Recently, promising new methods based on virtual reality have emerged. Virtual reality technologies hold great opportunities for the development of effective assessment and treatment techniques for neglect because they provide rich, multimodal, and highly controllable environments. In order to stimulate advancements in this domain, we present a review and an analysis of the current work. We describe past and ongoing research of virtual reality applications for unilateral neglect and discuss the existing problems and new directions for development.
