| Popis: | Spatial neglect is a debilitating post-stroke neurocognitive disorder, associated with longer hospitalization and worse rehabilitation outcomes. Prior literature suggests a high prevalence of this disorder, but in reality clinicians have difficulty reliably identifying affected survivors. This discrepancy may result from suboptimal use of validated neglect assessment procedures. In this article, we suggest a validated assessment tool, sensitive to identify neglect and its functional consequences, the Catherine Bergego Scale (CBS). We provide detailed item-by-item CBS instructions for observation and scoring: the Kessler Foundation Neglect Assessment Process (KF-NAP). We describe a unique attribute of the CBS and the KF-NAP: rehabilitation researchers may be able to use them to measure both ecological outcomes, and specific, separable perceptual-attentional and motor-exploratory spatial behaviors. |
