It has been shown that unilateral left neglect can be significantly improved for a short time after period of adaptation to prismatic shift the visual field right. In neuropsychological studies, however, there is no evidence demonstrating long‐lasting effects following treatment by prism (PA). The first aim present study was find out whether short‐term amelioration found could converted into long‐term therapeutic improvement. Secondly, we investigated improvement in standard tests...
Abstract The present study investigated the effects of left hemispatial neglect on two tasks activating mental number line (MNL). Six patients with performed a bisection task and modified version Spatial Numerical Association Response Codes (SNARC) task. Effects were observed in task, but not SNARC We argue that dissociation between resembles, representational space MNL, previously reported dissociations explicit knowledge (assessed by direct tasks) implicit indirect tasks).
In close analogy with neurophysiological findings in monkeys, neuropsychological studies have shown that the human brain constructs visual maps of space surrounding different body parts. right-brain-damaged patients tactile extinction, existence a peripersonal centred on hand has been demonstrated by showing cross-modal visual–tactile extinction is segregated mainly near hand. That is, stimuli contralesional are extinguished more consistently presented ipsilesional than those far from it....
Background: This pilot study compared the effects of lexical-semantic stimulation through telecommunication technology (LSS-tele) with in-person LSS (LSS-direct) and unstructured cognitive treatment (UCS) in patients early Alzheimer’s disease. Methods: Twenty-seven disease very stage (Mini-Mental State Examination [MMSE] >26/30) were divided into three groups: seven received LSS-tele treatment, ten standard LSS-direct intervention, participants underwent UCS as control condition....
Spatial neglect (SN) constitutes a substantial barrier to functional recovery after acquired brain injury. However, because of its multimodal nature, no single test can capture all the signs SN. To provide clinically feasible solution, we used conventional neuropsychological tests as well Catherine Bergego Scale (CBS) via Kessler Foundation Neglect Assessment Process (KF-NAP). The goal was add evidence that global approach should detect better even subtle SN.Fourteen individuals with lesions...
<h3>BACKGROUND:</h3> Patients with acquired brain injury (ABI) often require long periods of having a tracheostomy tube for airway protection and prolonged mechanical ventilation. It has been recognized that fast safe decannulation improves outcomes facilitates the recovery process. Nevertheless, few studies have provided evidence criteria, despite high prevalence ABI subjects tracheostomies. The aim our study was to assess which clinical parameters are best predictors in ABI....
Anomia, a word-finding difficulty, is frequent consequence of poststroke linguistic disturbance, associated with fluent and nonfluent aphasia that needs long-term specific intensive speech rehabilitation. The present study explored the feasibility telerehabilitation as compared to conventional face-to-face treatment naming, in patients anomia. Five aphasic chronic participated this characterized by: strictly controlled crossover design; well-balanced lists words picture-naming tasks where...
Background. Episodic memory and semantic abilities deteriorate early in Alzheimer disease (AD). Since the cognitive system includes interconnected reciprocally influenced neuronal networks, authors hypothesized that stimulation of lexical–semantic may benefit semantically structured episodic memory. Objective. To investigate effects (LSS) on verbal communication AD. Methods. Forty AD participants were randomized to LSS or unstructured (UCS) as control condition. Treatments lasted 3 months, 2...
The aim of this study was to build an instrument, the Numerical Activities Daily Living (NADL), designed identify specific impairments in numerical functions that may cause problems everyday life. These go beyond what can be inferred from available scales evaluating activities daily living general, and are not adequately captured by measures general deterioration cognitive as assessed standard clinical instruments like MMSE MoCA. We a control group (n = 148) patient affected wide variety...

Cognitive Reserve is the capital of knowledge and experiences that an individual acquires over their life-span. strictly related to Brain Reserve, which ability brain cope with damage. These two concepts could explain many phenomena such as modality onset in dementia or different degree impairment cognitive abilities aging. The aim this study verify effect measured by a questionnaire, on variety numerical (number comprehension, reading writing numbers, rules principles, mental calculations...
Objectives: The aims of the current study are to 1) report frequency specific sleep disturbance symptoms in MCI and cognitive healthy older persons; 2) examine whether overall poor more common persons with compared controls and; 3) association between disturbances performance general domains separately persons. Methods: Data were collected at Fondazione Ospedale San Camillo Istituto di Ricovero e Cura a Carattere Scientifico (IRCCS), Venice, Italy as part European VPH-DARE@IT project. We...
Aspiration risk has a substantial influence on clinical management of swallowing disorders, and can be associated with pharyngeal residue. The aims this cross-sectional study are to examine the correlation between presence residue penetration-aspiration during fiberoptic endoscopic evaluation (FEES), objective data Functional Oral Intake Scale (FOIS) determine whether using assessment (Pooling score Penetration Aspiration Scale-PAS) categorise patients as pathological or not identifies...
Financial capacity is the ability to manage one's own finances according self-interests. Failure in financial decisions and lack of independence when dealing with money can affect people's quality life are associated neuropsychological deficits or clinical conditions such as mild cognitive impairment Alzheimer's disease. Despite importance evaluating assessment patients psychiatric disorders, only a few tools have been developed. In present article, authors introduce Numerical Activities...
The rehabilitation of motor deficits following stroke relies on both sensorimotor and cognitive abilities, thereby involving large-scale brain networks. However, few studies have investigated the integration between domains, as well its neuroanatomical basis. In this retrospective study, upper limb responsiveness to technology-based was examined in a sample 29 patients (18 with right 11 left damage). Pretreatment attentional abilities were found influence recovery. Training increased...
