We determined whether various assessment tools detect neglect
differently by administering a battery of assessments to people with stroke.
METHOD: We conducted a case series study and administered five neglect
assessments (paper-and-pencil, functional, virtual reality) to participants
poststroke. RESULTS: Twelve participants (6 men, 6 women) with stroke completed
the assessment battery, which required approximately 2 hr to administer (over one
to two sessions). All participants demonstrated neglect on three or more
assessments. Functional assessments and the virtual reality assessment detected
neglect more frequently than the paper-and-pencil assessments. Participants
performed differently on the paper-and-pencil assessments and functional
assessments. CONCLUSION: Because neglect is complex, detection may depend largely
on the assessment administered.
