One prominent deficit resulting from stroke is visuo-spatial neglect, which has been associated with slower and more attenuated recovery patterns of sensory-motor impairment as well limitations in activities daily living (ADL). The aim the current study was to further specify relationship between neglect different domains ADL. hundred eighty four patients were assessed Functional Independence Measure first week inpatient rehabilitation, again at 6, 12, 36 months post-stroke. On average,...
The aim of the current study was to investigate longitudinal relationship between improvements synergism and strength upper paretic limb severity visuo-spatial neglect during first 52 weeks post-stroke. association VSN motor impairment using Fugl Meyer score Motricity Index arm measured in an intensive repeated measurement design including 18 sessions for each subject.

Unilateral spatial neglect (USN) is a syndrome that can occur after right- and left-hemisphere damage. It generally accepted left-sided USN more severe than right-sided USN. Evidence for such difference in other domains lacking. Primary aims were to compare frequency, severity, region specificity, cognition, physical functioning, independence between left right Secondary lesion characteristics. A total of 335 stroke patients admitted inpatient rehabilitation included. The severity the...
A large proportion of stroke patients are unable to return work (RTW), although figures vary greatly. total 121 mild-to-moderate patients, who had a paid job at the time their were included (a) quantify RTW and satisfaction one-year post-stroke (using Utrecht Scale for Evaluation Rehabilitation-Participation) (b) determine factors predicting post-stroke, based on stroke-related, personal neuropsychological variables. Half not in (28%) or working less (22%) than pre-stroke. Ninety percent...
Patients with a scotoma in their central vision (e.g., due to macular degeneration, MD) commonly adopt strategy direct the eyes such that image falls onto peripheral location on retina. This is referred as preferred retinal locus (PRL). Although previous research has investigated characteristics of this PRL, it unclear whether eye movement metrics are modulated by viewing PRL measured during visual search paradigm. To end, we tested four MD patients paradigm and contrasted performance...
In certain situations, the endpoint of an eye movement is not positioned on centre a target element, but deviates in direction another element. This phenomenon has been termed 'the global effect' and proven to constitute valuable measure various processes that control influence our oculomotor behavior. The goal current review provide insight factors determine where eyes land. We will focus fundamental characteristics effect discuss domains which applied. appears be best explained terms...
In a cancellation task, participant is required to search for and cross out (“cancel”) targets, which are usually embedded among distractor stimuli. The number of cancelled targets their location can be used diagnose the neglect syndrome after stroke. addition, organization provides potentially useful way measure executive control over multitarget search. Although many measures have been introduced, most fail make into research studies clinical practice due practical difficulty acquiring...
Objectives Cognitive and behavioural changes within the spectrum of frontotemporal dementia (FTD) are observed frequently in patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Whether these also occur other forms motor neuron disease (MND) is not well studied. We therefore systemically screened a large cohort primary (PLS) progressive muscular atrophy (PMA) for cognitive changes, subsequently compared our findings ALS. Methods Using set screening instruments (Edinburgh Behavioural ALS...
Visuospatial neglect has been observed in the horizontal (left/right) and vertical (up/down) dimension depends on distance at which a task is presented (near/far). Previously, studies have mainly focused investigating overall severity of near far space group patients instead examining subgroups with different types distance-specific neglect. We investigated spatial specificity (near vs. space), frequency, dimensions large stroke patients. used three tasks to assess (30 cm) (120 space: shape...
Patients with neglect ignore or respond slower to contralesional stimuli. Neglect negatively influences independence in activities of daily living (ADL). Prism adaptation (PA) is one the most frequently studied treatments, yet there little evidence regarding positive effects on behavior ADL.To assess whether PA subacute phase ameliorates situations varying complexity.A total 70 patients admitted for inpatient stroke rehabilitation received either sham (SA) 2 weeks, full access standard...
Abstract Introduction The Meta VCI Map consortium performs meta‐analyses on strategic lesion locations for vascular cognitive impairment using lesion‐symptom mapping. Integration of data from different cohorts will increase sample sizes, to improve brain coverage and support comprehensive mapping studies. Methods Cohorts with available imaging white matter hyperintensities or infarcts testing were invited. We performed a pilot study test the feasibility multicenter processing analysis...
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a leading cause of death and disability. Epidemiology seems to be changing. TBIs are increasingly caused by falls amongst elderly, whilst we see less polytrauma due road traffic accidents (RTA). Data on epidemiology essential target prevention strategies. A nationwide retrospective cohort study was conducted. The Dutch National Trauma Database used identify all patients over 17 years old who were admitted hospital with moderate severe TBI (AIS ≥ 3) in the...
Humans maintain an intricate balance between storing information in visual working memory (VWM) and just-in-time sampling of the external world, rooted a trade-off cost maintaining items VWM versus retrieving as it is needed. Previous studies have consistently shown that one prerequisite high degree availability information, introducing delay before being able to access led participants rely less on world more VWM. However, these manipulated such manner was stable predictable. It yet unclear...
Individuals with memory impairments may need to rely often on the external world (i.e. offloading). By memorizing only a fraction of items at hand, and repeatedly looking back remainder inspecting), they can avoid frailty or effortful use. However, individuals subjective concerns also prefer even though their capacity is intact. Crucially, assessment fails recognize offloading strategies, while inspection reveal how people choose deploy in everyday life. To disentangle relative contributions...
