Abstract EN
Background.
Region-specific types of neglect (peripersonal and extrapersonal) have been dissociated, yet, differential behavioural consequences are unknown.
Objective.
The aim of the current study was to investigate behavioural consequences at the level of basic activities of daily living of region-specific neglect, using the Catherine Bergego Scale (CBS).
Methods.
118 stroke patients were screened within the first two weeks after admission to the rehabilitation center for inpatient rehabilitation.
Results.
Patients with peripersonal neglect and patients with neglect for both regions had significantly higher total score on the CBS compared to nonneglect patients.
Total scores for patients with extrapersonal neglect were comparable to non-neglect patients.
ADL impairments were found across activities (e.g., looking towards one side, forgetting body parts, colliding) for both patients with peripersonal neglect and patients with neglect for both regions.
Patients with extrapersonal neglect were only impaired on the item on way finding.
Conclusions.
When diagnosing neglect, it is relevant to distinguish the type of region-specific neglect and, where needed, to adjust the rehabilitation program accordingly.
As the CBS is not developed to typically measure ADL in extrapersonal neglect, it would be of importance to add other (instrumental) activities that heavily rely on processing information in farther space.
