Efficacy of home-based visuomotor feedback training in stroke patients with chronic hemispatial neglect.
Hemispatial neglect is a severe cognitive condition frequently observed after a stroke, associated with unawareness of one side of space, disability and poor long-term outcome. Visuomotor feedback training (VFT) is a neglect rehabilitation technique that involves a simple, inexpensive and feasible training of grasping-to-lift rods at the centre. We compared the immediate and long-term effects o...

Background and Objective: Cerebro-Vascular Accident (CVA) is considered to be one of the main causes of acquired motor disability in adults. Different motor rehabilitation programs are being designed in order to improve motor difficulties of patients with CVA. In the current study we aimed to assess the effect of task-based mirror therapy on upper limb functions and activities of daily living i...
متن کاملDementia, pain, depression, behavioral disturbances, and ADLs: toward a comprehensive conceptualization of quality of life in long-term care.
OBJECTIVES Quality of life in long-term care settings is a multidimensional construct that includes functional, cognitive, behavioral, and psychological variables. Quality of life variables have been found to be related to one another, but directional influences have not been tested. METHODS The purpose of this study was to develop and compare two competing path models composed of quality of ...
متن کاملUnilateral Neglect: Assessment and Rehabilitation
Over 795,000 individuals in the U.S. suffer from strokes annually, with 610,000 accounting for first attacks. Stroke represents the fifth leading cause of death and resulting long-term disability in the United States. Unilateral neglect (UN) is a disabling characteristic of stroke, occurring from lesion damage to one hemisphere of the brain. Individuals with UN do not respond normally to object...
متن کاملCross-training in hemispatial neglect: auditory sustained attention training ameliorates visual attention deficits.
Prominent deficits in spatial attention evident in patients with hemispatial neglect are often accompanied by equally prominent deficits in non-spatial attention (e.g., poor sustained and selective attention, pronounced vigilance decrement). A number of studies now show that deficits in non-spatial attention influence spatial attention. Treatment strategies focused on improving vigilance or sus...
