The Visual Scanning Test: a newly developed neuropsychological tool to assess and target rehabilitation of extrapersonal visual unilateral spatial neglect.
2020
Purpose
Visual unilateral spatial neglect (VUSN) is a neuropsychological condition commonly experienced after stroke whereby patients are unable to attend to stimuli on the controlesional side of their space. VUSN can occur in the personal, peripersonal, and/or extrapersonal portion of patient’s space. Traditional paper-and-pencil neuropsychological tests are widely used to evaluate VUSN, but they assess peripersonal VUSN. Instead, personal and extrapersonal neglect are less easily evaluated. The aim of this study was to present normative values for the Visual Scanning Test (VST), a new neuropsychological tool to quantitatively assess the extrapersonal VUSN.
