Video on Neglect

Synopsis

Many patients who suffer stroke have to overcome a variety of behavioural problems which affect the quality of their daily lives. Helping such patients to cope successfully with the effects of their stroke requires the recognition not only of the more common physical problems but also of the less obvious and just as disabling cognitive and perceptual problems.
1 (27 min): Unilateral visual neglect remains one of the most striking consequences of right-sided stroke and is characterised by the patient’s failure to respond to objects or people situated on that part of space opposite the side of the stroke. This programme provides an overview of some of the clinical and experimental behaviours commonly associated with visual neglect. Using contributions from clinical neurology and cognitive neuropsychology, the programme describes the nature of visual neglect and concludes by presenting the views and insights from a patient with visual neglect.
2 (17 min): Hemiplegia after stroke is often complicated by the presence of deficits in visual perception. In particular, visual neglect has been shown to influence functional recovery and active participation in rehabilitation. This programme illustrates several examples of neglect behaviour in drawing, copying and constructional tasks.
3 (19 min): The analysis of a graphic artist’s work after right-hemisphere stroke provides a unique opportunity to document the ways in which visuo-spatial and visuo-perceptual abilities can be impaired. The programme illustrates some of the changes in the drawing and sculpting skills of the artist Tom Greenshields after a stroke. Using examples from his pre-stroke drawings and sculptures, the programme traces Tom’s recovery while illustrating the effects of visual neglect on his artistic productions after his stroke.
