Inconsistency of performance on neglect subtype tests following acute right hemisphere stroke.
Hemispatial neglect has been conceptualized as having dissociable and potentially clinically relevant subtypes. However, the question of whether patient performance on neglect subtype measures is consistent over time remains largely unanswered. We examined changes in performance over time on measures of motor, perceptual, and personal neglect in 21 patients with neglect from acute right hemisph...
متن کاملSensitivity of clinical and behavioural tests of spatial neglect after right hemisphere stroke.
OBJECTIVES The lack of agreement regarding assessment methods is responsible for the variability in the reported rate of occurrence of spatial neglect after stroke. The aim of this study was to assess the sensitivity of different tests of neglect after right hemisphere stroke. METHODS Two hundred and six subacute right hemisphere stroke patients were given a test battery including a prelimina...
متن کاملDissociated neglect behavior following sequential strokes in the right hemisphere.
A 42-year-old woman suffered two focal right hemisphere strokes, sequentially damaging different components of a proposed cerebral network for the spatial distribution of attention. Her first stroke was centered in the right frontal lobe and resulted in left hemi-spatial neglect but only for tasks that emphasize exploratory-motor components of directed attention. A second stroke occurred 20 day...
متن کاملThe association of visual field deficits and visuo-spatial neglect in acute right-hemisphere stroke patients.
BACKGROUND Visuo-spatial neglect (VSN) after stroke is associated with a poor prognosis for rehabilitation. The co-existence of a visual field deficit (VFD) with VSN may be associated with impaired visuo-spatial functioning and thereby poor functional outcome. OBJECTIVE To determine whether the presence of a VFD (i) exacerbates VSN and (ii) influences recovery of VSN. METHODS A prospective ...
متن کاملReducing Chronic Visuo-Spatial Neglect Following Right Hemisphere Stroke Through Instrument Playing
Unilateral visuo-spatial neglect is a neuropsychological syndrome commonly resulting from right hemisphere stroke at the temporo-parietal junction of the infero-posterior parietal cortex. Neglect is characterized by reduced awareness of stimuli presented on patients' contralesional side of space. Inspired by evidence of increased spatial exploration of patients' left side achieved during keyboa...
