Overview[edit | edit source]
Unilateral neglect or hemineglect is one of the common challenges associated with post-stroke symptoms. About 30% of stroke survivors have been reported to have unilateral neglect. Thus assessment of this attention disorder called unilateral neglect is essential in managing Unilateral neglect. Unilateral neglect can be evaluated with a traditional test such as single letter cancellation and line bisection. Functional assessment is a new paradigm in assessing for unilateral neglect and one example of this functional assessment is Catherine Bergego Scale, CBS. Functional assessment tools provide a continuum on unilateral neglect affectation regarding activities of daily living that may be affected in this condition.

Each item is scored on a scale of 0 to 3, with zero meaning there is no neglect, and 1 represents mild neglect where the patient will cross midline after the right side is attended to first. On the CBS scale, 2 represents moderate neglect where the patient has clear and consistent left side omissions, and 3 represents severe neglect. The item scores are summed up to obtain a total. A score of 0 means no neglect, and 30 means several neglects. A 1 to 10 means Mild Behavioural Neglect, 10-20 Moderate Behavioural neglect and 21 to 30 means severe behavioural neglect.
The items included are:
