摘要: It has been observed that some patients, often with unilateral neglect, have difficulty sitting their trunk symmetrically and tend to lean towards affected side. The aim of the study was see whether this inability achieve midline existed, if it did there any relationship motor function neglect.The sample consisted 38 stroke patients assessed at one, three six weeks post stroke. Of these 17 had a right hemiplegia 21 left hemiplegia. Data were collected using Rivermead Motor Assessment (RMA), star cancellation tests measure position.By most (28) subjects sat in or unaffected side (group A). Nine leaning B). Most group (eight) showed signs neglect. Chi-square statistics more neglect B than A (p <0.001).In gros...
