Long-lasting amelioration of visuospatial neglect by prism adaptation.
It has been shown that unilateral left neglect can be significantly improved for a short time after a short period of adaptation to a prismatic shift of the visual field to the right. In neuropsychological studies, however, there is no evidence demonstrating long-lasting effects following treatment by prism adaptation (PA). The first aim of the present study was to find out whether the short-te...
متن کاملLong-Lasting Amelioration of Walking Trajectory in Neglect after Prismatic Adaptation
In the present study we explored the effect of prismatic adaptation (PA) applied to the upper right limb on the walking trajectory of a neglect patient with more severe neglect in far than in near space. The patient was asked to bisect a line fixed to the floor by walking across it before and after four sessions of PA distributed over a time frame of 67 days. Gait path was analyzed by means of ...
متن کاملPrism adaptation improves representational neglect.
Previous work has shown that various symptoms of unilateral neglect, including the pathological shift of the subjective midline to the right, may be improved by a short adaptation period to a prismatic shift of the visual field to the right. We report here, in two neglect patients the improvement of imagery neglect after prism exposure. Despite a strong neglect observed for mental images, as we...
متن کاملPrism adaptation and 1 Running head: PRISM ADAPTATION AND NEGLECT Prism Adaptation and Hemispatial Neglect: Notes Toward Understanding
Theory and data from normal prism adaptation are applied toward understanding the ameliorating effects of prism adaptation for left hemispatial neglect patients. The composite nature of the egocentric (noetic) reference frame suggests that the therapeutic value of prism adaptation might be enhanced if a prism adaptation task were selected that produces spatial realignment in the patient’s dysfu...
متن کاملPrism adaptation treatment of neglect: conflicting results?
In this issue of Neurology, two articles consider the treatment of neglect with prisms and initially appear to have contradictory results. 1,2 Neglect due to right hemisphere injury, most commonly after stroke, continues to be a major cause of disability, impairing ability to live independently and perform activities of daily living. Patients with strokes that damage the right hemisphere are mo...
