Table 3.

Poststroke hemispatial neglect symptoms.

Domains Categories Deficits
Modality Perceptual neglect Difficulty with allocating attention to visual, tactile, or auditory stimuli appearing on the contralesional side of space
Motor neglect Reduced or slowed movements using the contralesional limb that cannot be attributed to primary motor deficit; reduced or slowed movements in/towards the contralesional side of space
Representational neglect Problems imagining or visualising the contralesional side of scenes

Reference frame Egocentric Underrepresentation of contralesional side of space in relation to one's own body/body parts (e.g., subjective estimate of one's body midline or straight ahead shifted towards the ipsilesional side)
Allocentric Underrepresentation of contralesional side of spatial relationships between external objects separated in space (e.g., bisections of straight line shifted toward the end corresponding to the ipsilesional side)

Region of space Personal Reduced attention to contralesional side of the body
Peripersonal Reduced attention to contralesional side of the space within one's reach
Extrapersonal Reduced attention to contralesional side of the space beyond one's reach
