Study acronymPATMOS
Study objectives1. Does prism adaptation have an effect on the patients’ behaviour in daily living tasks?
2. Does prism adaptation have an effect on the patients’ mobility in the environment?
3. Does prism adaptation differentially affect different domains of space?
4. Are the effects of the treatment long lasting (in this case evident after 8 weeks)?
5. What sample size is required and which measures should be included in a definitive randomised controlled trial?
