Line bisection is one of the most commonly used tasks to assess spatial neglect. More recently, line bisection has been recommended as a task to monitor for spatial neglect during awake brain tumor surgery, but the operative constraints hamper the normal test conditions. We developed and validated in 118 healthy participants the BLOC test, a computerized version of line bisection, suppressing the motor component, in both sitting and lying positions. The results showed that the computerized line bisection task is strictly comparable to manual bisection and that it can be used in the sitting or lying position with the same significance threshold. The BLOC test therefore represents a relevant tool for clinical practice in a variety of contexts. |
