Condition: Stroke · Hemineglect · Neuropsychology · Sponsor: Hopital La Musse
A stroke is a common and potentially serious condition that affects 130,000 people each year in France. It is the second leading cause of major cognitive disorders after Alzheimer's disease. Hemineglect is a frequently observed cognitive impairment following a stroke. The individual becomes unable to orient themselves or respond to stimuli appearing in the contralesional hemispace. Hemineglect occurs in approximately 25-30% of stroke patients, with the right hemisphere being affected in 90% of cases. Despite potential spontaneous recovery within the first 2 to 3 months post-stroke, neglect tends to persist chronically. One-third of patients suffer from long-term neglect. The condition is more severe after a right-sided lesion. The functional impact is significant, particularly when considering the anosognosia and anosodiaphoria often associated with it. Rehabilitation stays are longer for patients with neglect, and autonomy in daily activities is reduced. Neglect leads to poorer functional outcomes after a stroke, making it a critical factor to address in a patient's rehabilitation program. The goal of rehabilitation is to reduce impairments, improve activity limitations and participation restrictions secondary to hemineglect, and achieve functional progress beyond what is possible through spontaneous recovery. Since no single rehabilitation method for neglect is superior to another, it is currently recommended to combine multiple approaches. The top-down approach is base…
