Abstract:

Objective To explore the features and assessment for far space neglect in left spatial neglect patients after right brain stroke. Methods From January to October, 2021, 30 left unilateral spatial neglect (USN) patients after right stroke (patients, n = 30) from Beijing Bo'ai Hospital and healthy volunteers matching with gender, age and level of education (controls, n = 30) were evaluated with line cancelation (LC), star cancelation (SC) and line bisection (LB) tests, nearly and far away. The 25 controls were evaluated with LB on the second day. Results No line or star was omissed in the controls. Both the deviation and percentage were more in the patients than in the controls (|t| > 4.319, P < 0.001). Both the deviation and percentage were less different for all the test (|Z| < 1.638, t = -1.282, P > 0.05) between nearly and far away, except the deviation of LB (t = -4.994, P < 0.001). The ICC of test-retest was above 0.462 (P < 0.01). Conclusion Right brain stroke patients with USN may present far spatial neglect, which can be assessed with LB.

Key words: unilateral spatial neglect, far spatial neglect, line cancelation, star cancelation, line bisection
