objectives: the purpose of the present study was comparing visuo-spatial attention between children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder-inattentive (adhd-i) type and normal children. methods: in this cross-sectional study fifteen (7-10 years of age) children were classified with adhd-i type and 15 normal children were matched for age, sex, and iq. they were selected trough simple rand...

Cube-copying is often used to assess constructional ability of brain-damaged patients and the influence of unilateral spatial neglect is often pointed out in patients with right hemisphere lesions. However, some patients with severe neglect perform cube-copying satisfactorily. The aim of the present study is to identify the factors that affect the performance of cube-copying in patients with le...

In this paper, we propose a system for training of stroke patients with unilateral neglect by using technology of virtual reality (VR). The proposed system is designed to compensate for unilateral neglect. This system contains the calibration of unilateral neglect and the training of this disease. The calibration procedure is implemented by aligning the virtual object at a subjective middle lin...

Following stroke, the deficit of unilateral neglect (also referred to as spatial neglect, hemiinattention and the neglect syndrome, amongst other terms) is associated with poor outcome with affected patients relatively unlikely to relearn to walk (Buxbaum et al., 2004). The outlook for regaining independent mobility is made still worse by the general inability of patients with unilateral neglec...

Twenty patients with unilateral neglect syndrome were studied. They were 10 males and 10 females, and they ranged from 29 to 76 years of age. All were submitted to a CAT scan of the brain. Based on the findings in our sample we drew the following conclusions: the extinction phenomenon was a constant manifestation of unilateral neglect; the line crossing test proved to be most efficient for the ...
