| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The purpose of this research is to develop a prism adaptation system (VRPA system) by three-dimensional virtual reality and examine its usefulness. The developed system allows to perform repetitive target reaching tasks under 3D virtual reality and to evaluate and treat patients with Unilateral Spatial Neglect (USN). As a result of examining the adaptation of the prism by this system in 10 healthy adults and 5 USN patients, the usefulness of this system was suggested.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
本研究の成果は，従来の半側空間無視（USN）に対するPA療法における課題を解決する方法につながるものであり，PA療法の標準化に繋がる研究への発展も期待できる．USNは，脳卒中による高次脳機能障害の代表的な病態であることから，USNに対するリハビリテーションの発展は，それに苦しむ多くの対象者のQOLの向上に寄与するものと考える．
