The table summarizes the findings concerning the presence of neglect and associated disorders at the first session (1st) as well as the possible amelioration of the symptoms at the third session (3rd), that is, after 2 weeks. The plus (+) or minus sign (−) indicate the presence or absence of the deficit, respectively. The upward (↑) or downward arrow (↓) indicate improvement or worsening of symptoms, respectively. The equal sign ( = ) indicates no change in performance. Non executed tests are also indicated (NE). The summary concerns the following main manifestations of the syndrome, as assessed by some of the tests used (indicated in brackets): extra-personal neglect (bell cancellation test); personal neglect (fluff test); premotor neglect (lateralised response task); perceptual neglect (lateralised target task); anosognosia (anosognosia questionnaire); extinction (visual, tactile); motor deficit (joints’ measures and grip force); sustained attention (SART test); and divided attention (dual task). Anosognosia was considered to be present when the patient’s score was >0. Extinction column: patients were considered to manifest hemianopia (H) or hemisensory loss (HL) if they did not report any visual or tactile stimulus, respectively, under left unilateral stimulation. | ||||||||||||||||||||
