A Preliminary Investigation

چکیده
Background and Purpose Research has identified a number of factors associated with poststroke recovery, but the prediction of long-term functional outcome remains an uncertain endeavor. In previous work, extinction to tactile, doublesimultaneous stimulation has been shown to have short-term predictive utility. The present study was designed to examine its long-term prognostic value and to determine the relative importance of tactile extinction, cognitive functioning, and visual neglect as predictors of poststroke functional status. Methods Successive admissions to an acute-care facility (n=26) were assessed three times: 1 month, 3.5 months, and 6 months after stroke. Hierarchical multiple regression, a procedure that maximizes the effect of the variables first entered, was used to predict functional status. Cognitive functioning and visual neglect were forced into the equation on the first
