1. 1. Visual and tactile neglect

   Författare :Haukur Hjaltason; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :Visual neglect; tactile neglect; premotor neglect; perceptual neglect; bisection tasks; darkness; tactile exploration; right hand use; right hemisphere activation; three-dimensionality; figure-ground contrast; chronic;

   Sammanfattning : Neglect patients typically fail to report, respond, or orient to information presented in locations further away from the side of the brain lesion. Neglect is most often reported after acute stroke, and is more severe and more frequent after right hemisphere damage. LÄS MER

3. 2. The importance of lateralized and nonlateralized sub-symptoms of visuospatial neglect as predictors of functional outcome after stroke

   Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Functional outcome; neglect; recovery; stroke; visual attention; visual search;

   Sammanfattning : DEGREE OF LICENTIATE IN PSYCHOLOGY Abstract Viken, J. I. (2011). The importance of lateralized and nonlateralized sub-symptoms of visuospatial neglect as predictors of functional dependency after stroke. LÄS MER

4. 3. Visuospatial inattention and processing speed : Predictors of long-term outcome and patterns of change after ischemic stroke

   Sammanfattning : Impairments of visuospatial attention, language, and processing speed (PS) are common early after stroke and have been associated with unfavorable short-term functional outcomes but little is known about this relationship in the long-term. This thesis investigates 1) the potential importance of visuospatial inattention (VSI) and language impairments (LI) as predictors of functional outcomes 7 years after an ischemic stroke (studies I-II) and 2) presence of lateralized inattention 7 years after stroke and potential predictors of this phenomenon (study III).

5. 4. Virtual Reality for Enriched Rehabilitation of Stroke Patients with Spatial Neglect : Diagnostics and the Rehabilitation Effect on Spatial Attention and Neuronal Activity

   Författare :Helena Fordell; Jan Malm; Anders Eklund; Hanne Krarup Christensen; Umeå universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Stroke; spatial neglect; rehabilitation; virtual reality; enriched environment; fMRI;

   Sammanfattning : Background: Approximately a third of all stroke patients develop spatial neglect, a debilitating symptom associated with poor outcome. Spatial neglect is clinically defined as a deficit in processing and responding to stimuli presented on the contralesional side of the body, or the space surrounding that side of the body. LÄS MER

7. 5. Late Neuropsychiatric Consequences of Stroke in the Elderly

   Författare :Thomas Lindén; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :Epidemiology; Cerebrovascular Disorders; Rehabilitation; Dementia; Perceptual Disorders; Depression; Depressive Disorders; Activities of Daily Living; Health Care Costs; Stroke;

   Sammanfattning : Cognitive impairments and depression have considerable impacts on rehabilitation, quality of life and mortality after stroke. The understanding of cognitive and mood impairments in old and, in particular, very old stroke patients is not sufficient. LÄS MER
