Evaluating the Oxford Visual Perception Screening Tool to Detect Visual Problems in Stroke Survivors

What this Trial Is About

Researchers are evaluating how well the Oxford Visual Perception Screening OxVPS tool can identify visual perception difficulties in stroke survivors. The study aims to compare the accuracy and usefulness of OxVPS against the current gold standard assessment for detecting visual perception problems after stroke. This observational, non-experimental, cross-sectional study focuses on adults diagnosed with stroke within the past six weeks. Participants will complete the paper version of the OxVPS, which takes about 15 minutes, and a validated gold standard screening tool that lasts between 30 and 120 minutes. They will also undergo tests for cognitive changes and sensory vision, each taking about 30 minutes. Stroke details such as severity and time since stroke, along with demographic information like age and socio-economic status, will be collected to ensure a representative sample. During the study, participants will complete the screening tests within two weeks. Researchers will measure how valid and reliable the OxVPS tool is compared to existing standards. Data on stroke characteristics and demographics will help evaluate the tools performance. The total participation involves completing these assessments and providing background information to help understand the screenings accuracy in stroke survivors.
