| Abstract | The patient shown in Figure 1 slumped to one side diagonally, leaving an exposed triangle on the back of the chair, a sitting posture which Professor Bernard Isaacs identified as a predictor of long-stay. This is the characteristic posture of the patient with perceptual neglect: the trunk, head and eyes all turned away from the affected side. Perceptual neglect is the tendency to ignore spatial surroundings on the side contralateral to the side of cerebral damage; the afflicted has a distorted image of her own body and of her surroundings. Because perceptual neglect carries important functional and prognostic significance, it deserves much more attention from all those caring for stroke patients. |
