In this episode, we explore Kessler Foundation Prism Adaptation Treatment (KF-PAT®), a promising, low-cost therapy that uses special goggles to shift the visual field and retrain the brain through simple pointing exercises. This innovative approach helps stimulate spatial awareness and reduce neglect symptoms. We dive into a major review led by Kessler Foundation researchers, analyzing over two decades of PAT data from more than 4,000 stroke patients across 16 U.S. rehabilitation hospitals. While real-world clinical use shows strong benefits, formal trials have produced mixed results due
