This systematic review investigates the effect and the duration of effect of visuo-spatial neglect interventions on functional consequences (e.g., inattention, independence, motor and process skills) in individuals with right hemisphere stroke.
<div>Overall, there is evidence to support various neglect treatments in remediating visuospatial neglect in individuals with right hemisphere stroke. The following treatments reported clinically relevant long-term benefits (four to six weeks):</div>
<ul>
<li>Visual scanning training;</li>
<li>Visual scanning + trunk rotation;</li>
<li>Visual scanning + neck muscle vibration;</li>
<li>Mental imagery training; and</li>
<li>Video feedback training and prism adaption,</li>
</ul>
