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.
