Overview

Observational study reveals multimodal sensorimotor deficits in acute spatial neglect after right-hemisphere stroke, highlighting the need for combined early rehabilitation.

Key Points

To determine whether acute unilateral spatial neglect after right-hemisphere stroke is linked to broader multimodal somatosensory and motor deficits to guide early rehabilitation.
Single-center observational study analyzing 37 medically stable patients capable of wheelchair-based testing out of 233 acute right-hemisphere stroke admissions.
Unilateral spatial neglect was identified via the Bells test, line bisection, or reading tests, alongside standardized testing for exteroceptive, proprioceptive, higher-cortical, and motor function.
Patients presenting with unilateral spatial neglect (n = 13) experienced significantly more multimodal somatosensory deficits and poorer motor outcomes than those without neglect (n = 24).
Patients with both spatial neglect and severe motor loss showed worse somatosensory impairment and marked rightward gaze deviation on computer-assisted assessments compared to those with preserved motor control.
