Mapping the neglect syndrome onto neurofunctional streams

The article presents the characteristics of a case study - stroke survivors with unilateral neglect syndrome, mechanisms used in re-education training and elements of functional rehabilitation. The focus was on an important diagnostic problem in the field of occupational medicine and the return to driving for people after stroke. The aim of the research work undertaken was to justify the experimental description of the driver after a stroke and to confirm the possibility of returning to driving, including compulsory re-education. Literature analysis, review of legal acts, characteristics of adaptation devices and conclusions from the case study were also carried out.

Line Crossing

Twenty patients with unilateral neglect syndrome were studied. They were 10 males and 10 females, and they ranged from 29 to 76 years of age. All were submitted to a CAT scan of the brain. Based on the findings in our sample we drew the following conclusions: the extinction phenomenon was a constant manifestation of unilateral neglect; the line crossing test proved to be most efficient for the identification of visual neglect; the right parietal lobe was the anatomical region most often involved in the unilateral neglect syndrome.
