Visuospatial deficits after right hemisphere stroke.
The influence of visuospatial deficits on functional status after right hemisphere stroke was investigated in 34 patients. Correlation coefficients between visuospatial deficits and other factors--age, sex, vocabulary, educational level, hemiparesis, hemianopia, left-sided extinction, length of stay on a rehabilitation unit, and time lapse between onset of stroke and admission to the rehabilita...
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 کاملThe Presence of Visual Neglect after Thrombolytic Treatment in Patients with Right Hemisphere Stroke
Visual neglect (VN) is a common consequence of right hemisphere (RH) stroke. The aims of this study were to explore the presence of VN after RH stroke in the patients with (T+) or without (T-) thrombolytic treatment, and to determine whether thrombolysis is a predictor of VN. The study group consisted of 77 RH infarct patients. VN was evaluated with six conventional subtests of the Behavioural ...
متن کاملResidual rightward attentional bias after apparent recovery from right hemisphere damage: implications for a multicomponent model of neglect.
Unilateral neglect may be a multicomponent attentional disorder consisting of an initial automatic orienting of attention toward the ipsilesional side and a subsequent impairment in contralesionally reorienting attention, both of which are superimposed on a generalised reduction in attention resources. It has been hypothesised that patients' ability to reorient attention contralesionally may re...
متن کاملUnilateral neglect after right-hemisphere damage: contributions from event-related potentials.
Unilateral neglect is a frequent sequel of right-hemisphere damage. Patients suffering from neglect may fail to detect, orient to, acknowledge or respond to stimuli on their contralesional side, even in the absence of primary sensory or motor loss. Despite the major clinical significance of the phenomenon and its potential implications for our understanding of human cognition, the underlying co...
