Unilateral spatial neglect is a common neurological syndrome following predominantly right
hemisphere injuries and is characterized by both spatial and non-spatial deficits. Core …

Background Mirror therapy is used to improve motor function after stroke. During mirror
therapy, a mirror is placed in the person's midsagittal plane, thus reflecting movements of the …

Objective Spatial neglect (SN) impedes stroke rehabilitation progress, slows functional
recovery, and increases caregiver stress and burden. The estimation of SN prevalence …

Contemporary strategies to promote motor recovery following stroke focus on repetitive
voluntary movements. Although successful movement relies on efficient sensorimotor …

In contrast to varied therapy approaches, mirror therapy (MT) can be used even in
completely plegic stroke survivors, as it uses visual stimuli for producing a desired response …

Our aim was to examine how brain imaging in the initial phase of a stroke could predict both
acute/subacute as well as chronic spatial neglect. We present the first voxel-wise …

Chronic visual neglect prevents brain-damaged patients from returning to an independent
and active life. Detecting predictors of persistent neglect as early as possible after the stroke …

The aim of the current study was to investigate recovery of visuospatial neglect during the
first year after stroke. Visuospatial neglect was measured using two frequently and widely …

Recent models of human posterior parietal cortex (PPC) have variously emphasized its role
in spatial perception, visuomotor control or directing attention. However, neuroimaging and …

Anosognosia is the lack of awareness or the underestimation of a specific deficit in sensory,
perceptual, motor, affective or cognitive functioning due to a brain lesion. This self …
