Motor and functional recovery of stroke patients with neglect seems to
be significantly improved by the simultaneous presence of a treatment
specifically focused on neglect.

The Bon Saint Come method seems to significantly improve recent and
chronic UNS, as well as ADL function. These encouraging results could
have resulted from a synergistic effect of spatial reconditioning and
voluntary trunk rotation. It must be assessed by a new study with more
patients.

From Cochrane.org:

The benefit of cognitive rehabilitation for unilateral spatial
neglect, a condition that can affect stroke survivors, is
unclear. Unilateral spatial neglect is a condition which reduces
a person's ability to look, listen or make movements in one half
of their environment. This can affect their ability to carry out
many everyday tasks such as eating, reading and getting dressed,
and restricts a person's independence. Our review of 12 studies
involving 306 participants found that rehabilitation
specifically targeted at neglect appeared to improve a person's
ability to complete tests such as finding visual targets and
marking the mid-point of a line. However, its effect on their
ability to carry out a meaningful everyday task or to live
independently was not clear. Patients with neglect should
continue to receive general stroke rehabilitation services but
better quality research is needed to identify optimal
treatments.
Thanks,
Ron
