“…It seems essential for the patient to stay seated until the end of the mirror therapy, and to keep the trunk tilted to the unaffected side. If a patient willing to use mirror therapy is in a phase learning midline orientation, it can rather interrupt rehabilitation [ 15 , 16 , 17 ]. Midline orientation training is weighted in the early stage of stroke rehabilitation [ 18 ], and significant improvements in the activities of daily living (ADL) are expected at the same time.…”

(1) Background: Mirror therapy is one of the promising interventions for the upper limb rehabilitation of stroke patients. Postural asymmetry during mirror therapy was pointed out as a possibility to influence stroke patients’ rehabilitation negatively. However, it is still difficult to find studies on the postural changes in mirror therapy concept interventions. This study compared three methods of postural differences as follows: traditional mirror therapy (mirror); displaying the real-time movement of the unaffected side on the screen above the affected side (screen); and playing a pre-recorded movement of the unaffected side on a tablet placed on a movable box where the affected hand is put inside (movable). (2) Methods: to observe a kinematic difference, we recruited 16 healthy volunteers to go through three different interventions (mirror, screen, movable). The motion capture system made observations on the postures before and during interventions, then compared and analyzed. (3) Results: while using the mirror, the sitting posture was observed to become asymmetric, and the following unique posture was observed where the target hand went further from the trunk while performing tasks. In addition, the shoulder of the target side came forward, and the difference between both elbow flexion angles was also observed. On the other hand, the screen or movable device did not cause a significant change in the sitting posture, and no additional postural differences were observed either. (4) Conclusions: mirror therapy showed a tendency to cause lateral flexion opposite the target hand, thus, creating additional postural change. However, developed methods controlled spine tilt, and enabled the keeping of the midline while sitting during the intervention.

Objetiva-se enumerar as características físicas e elementares do prisma óptico e as técnicas terapêuticas através do seu emprego na Optometria Clínica, as formas de se obter o efeito prismático, fórmulas empregadas para a surfaçagem descentralizada, o quantum obtido através de determinado erro de descentralização, seja na própria lente óptica ou em outras modalidades de meios refringentes, como na película de Fresnel. Analisar as diversas terapias, ativas e passivas, como a aplicação do prisma para compensação das heteroforias, das diplopias e a terapia prismática neuro-optométrica. E o emprego da prismoterapia ativa, visando o aprimoramento das reservas fusionais do paciente e sua independência da compensação prismática permanente. A metodologia empregada é a revisão bibliográfica, com estudo de literaturas optométricas tradicionais e de artigos científicos.

“…TBI patients can also report disruption in their spatial localization especially in relation to their own body (Bansal et al, 2014 ). This is often referred to as Visual Perceptual Midline Shift Syndrome or Abnormal Egocentric Localization (Padula et al, 2017 ; Labreche et al, 2020 ) which may highlight the involvement of oculomotor and vestibulo-ocular systems. Patients suffering from abnormal visual spatial processing may perceive objects that are in line with their vertical center of their body to be shifted on one side.…”

“…The distance at which this break happens (or when the patient reports seeing double) is the NPC and is noted in cm (C). (Padula et al, 2017;Labreche et al, 2020) which may highlight the involvement of oculomotor and vestibulo-ocular systems. Patients suffering from abnormal visual spatial processing may perceive objects that are in line with their vertical center of their body to be shifted on one side.…”

Visual disturbances are amongst the most commonly reported symptoms after a traumatic brain injury (TBI) despite vision testing being uncommon at initial clinical evaluation. TBI patients consistently present a wide range of visual complaints, including photophobia, double vision, blurred vision, and loss of vision which can detrimentally affect reading abilities, postural balance, and mobility. In most cases, especially in rural areas, visual disturbances of TBI would have to be diagnosed and assessed by primary care physicians, who lack the specialized training of optometry. Given that TBI patients have a restricted set of visual concerns, an opportunity exists to develop a screening protocol for specialized evaluation by optometrists—one that a primary care physician could comfortably carry out and do so in a short time. Here, we designed a quick screening protocol that assesses the presence of core visual symptoms present post-TBI. The MOBIVIS (Montreal Brain Injury Vision Screening) protocol takes on average 5 min to perform and is composed of only “high-yield” tests that could be performed in the context of a primary care practice and questions most likely to reveal symptoms needing further vision care management. The composition of our proposed protocol and questionnaire are explained and discussed in light of existing protocols. Its potential impact and ability to shape a better collaboration and an integrative approach in the management of mild TBI (mTBI) patients is also discussed.
