INATTENTION (NEGLECT) Many Names: Unilateral M N U il t l Spatial S ti l Neglect, N l t Hemi-Neglect, H iN l t Unilateral Spatial Inattention Involuntary failure, or reduced ability to attend or respond to meaningful sensory stimuli presented in the affected hemi-field As opposed to a hemianopsia, it is not caused by a defect p y in the Geniculo-Striate pathway May or may not be accompanied by hemiplegia and y hemianopsia p homonymous UNILATERAL SPATIAL INATTENTION (NEGLECT) Usually the result of a right parietal lobe lesion, but it can occur as a result of damage in many other areas of the cortex Stroke is the most common cause Mechanism M h i is i nott totally t t ll clear l May affect Personal Space (body image), Peri-Personal Space (within arms reach) or Extra Personal Space (outside of arms reach) Neglect may be complete or relative relative-stimulus/intensity stimulus/intensity dependant UNILATERAL SPATIAL INATTENTION (NEGLECT) Competitive C titi process Sometimes may only occur with simultaneous presentation ( ti ti (extinction phenomenon) h ) May present with any combination of visual, auditory or tactile stimuli More devastating, but also more remediable than a visual field defect The presence of neglect more than 3 months post stroke is a major predictor of Activities for Daily Living (ADL) abilities UNILATERAL SPATIAL INATTENTION (NEGLECT) PREDICTOR OF TREATEMENT OUTCOMES VISUAL SPATIAL INATTENTION VISUAL-SPATIAL AND ACTIVITIES FOR DAILY LIVING (ADL) Study by Katz , Hartman-Maeir, et. al, 1999 Conducted at the School of Occupational Therapy, Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Israel Objective was to evaluate the impact of unilateral spatial neglect (USN) on the rehabilitation outcome and long-term functioning in activities of daily living (ADL) in right hemisphere damaged stroke patients Assessed sensory-motor sensory motor and cognitive impairment and functional disability upon admission to rehabilitation, upon discharge from rehabilitation hospital and 6 months after discharge VISUAL SPATIAL INATTENTION VISUAL-SPATIAL AND ACTIVITIES FOR DAILY LIVING (ADL) Results: Neglect is associated with lower performance on measures of impairment (sensory-motor and cognitive), as well as on measures of disability in ADL Differences were significant in all testing periods admission, discharge, and 6 months post discharge The recovery pattern for patients with USN is slower and more attenuated USN is the major predictor of rehabilitation o outcome tcome from admission to follow-up UNILATERAL SPATIAL INATTENTION (NEGLECT) PROPOSED MECHANISMS UNILATERAL SPATIAL INATTENTION (NEGLECT) Vallar & Perani, 1986 Considerable evidence that damage to the inferior parietal lobule (IPL), more than any other brain region, produces the classic symptoms of neglect Region of the IPL appears to be at the apex of a multistage cortical processing stream IPL receives inputs from subcortical structures that carry ocularmotor and attentional signals UNILATERAL SPATIAL INATTENTION (NEGLECT) Vallar & Perani, 1986 IPL integrates i t t somatic, ti visual, i l and d movementt information i f ti IPL appears to be one of the primary cortical regions governing attention The IPL is thought to be part of the ventral stream UNILATERAL SPATIAL INATTENTION (NEGLECT) Milner and Goodale, 1995: • Superior parietal lobe is part of dorsal stream which mediates control of goal directed actions • Lesions restricted to the superior parietal lobe lead to disturbances in visuomotor control (optic ataxia) • Lesions of the inferior parietal lobe lead to spatial neglect • Due to damage to areas which deals with abstract spatial reasoning, based on input from the ventral stream which permits the formation of perceptual p p and cognitive g representations p which embody y the enduring g characteristics of objects and their significance UNILATERAL SPATIAL INATTENTION (NEGLECT) Perenin, 1997: • Superior part of the parietal cortex is involved with direct coding of space for action • Inferior part or parietal lobe is responsible for more enduring and conscious representations underlying spatial cognition cog t o and a d awareness a a e ess UNILATERAL SPATIAL INATTENTION (NEGLECT) Karnath, 1997: • The brain uses inputs from various afferent channels to elaborate a unitary representation of egocentric space • Neglect due to an altered representation of body body-centered centered space • In I neglect l t the th coordinate di t transformation t f ti has h a systematic t ti error that results in deviation of the spatial reference to the ipsilateral side UNILATERAL SPATIAL INATTENTION (NEGLECT) Kinsbourne, 1987: • Orientation is not intact in in either right or left hemispace • A lateral gradient of attention sweeps across both hemispheres • There a gradient of severity of the neglect across the entire visual field UNILATERAL SPATIAL INATTENTION (NEGLECT) Rizzolatti and Berti, 1990: • Neglect results from a lesion in higher order spatial maps • There is gradient of severity across the visual field with a maximum severity in the in the extreme contralateral hemifield to a minimum severity in the extreme ipsilateral field UNILATERAL SPATIAL INATTENTION (NEGLECT) Summary of Research: • Many varied presentations of USI depending on the specific brain ( ) involved area(s) • Inferior parietal lobule (IPL), more than any other brain region, produces the classic symptoms of neglect. However, it must be remembered that many different cortical areas may produce neglect • May present as problems with various functions and areas of space - Body image - Visuo-motor control - Cognition - Attention • USI appears to manifest as a biased gradient of attention across the entire visual field UNILATERAL SPATIAL INATTENTION (NEGLECT) EVALUATION O UNILATERAL SPATIAL INATTENTION (NEGLECT) Visual Field Defect-No Neglect-???

OPTOMETRIC EVALUATION OF THE ABI PATIENT WITH VISUAL SPATIAL NEGLECT PROBES: Questions to patient/caregiver regarding behavior Patient’s awareness of problem Observe Behavior Drawing tests: Clock, Flowers, etc. Scanning Tests Line Bisection Cross Out Task (Suter analysis) Two Penlights-Extinction Read Hart Chart Auditory/tactile stimuli FIGURE DRAWING TESTS DRAW A CLOCK FLOWER COPYING TEST LINE BISECTION TEST CANCELLATION TESTS NAVON FIGURES Global vs. Local Features LINE BISECTION TEST Caution! Study by Ferber & Karnath, 2001 Examined validity of a line bisection test and four cancellation tests Found that the line bisection test missed 40% of the neglect patients Cancellation tests only missed 6% of the subjects Deviations in line bisection may be indicative of other conditions, such as hemianopia Conclusions: Result calls into question line bisection tests as a valid assessments tool and confirmed the use of cancellation tests Li Bi ti C O t Task T k Line Bisection Cross Out The Line Bisection Cross Out Task (by Suter) In deep neglect, the patient will neglect to bisect the lines on one side of the paper In lesser neglect, the patient will bisect all of the lines, but the lines greater than 5 cm in length will be bisected away from the neglected field Ap patient with a hemianopsia p without neglect g tends to bisect the line toward the blind field, as if they are aware of the defect and overcompensate in the process C O Line Bisection Cross Out Task The Line Bisection Cross Out Task (by Suter) There is a caveat to the right-left bisection bias… a patient with a hemianopsia plus neglect may bisect the lines accurately Do not get out your ruler to score. Healthy normal subjects seem to show a slight bias to left side, so if you score with a ruler, everyone will be a neglect suspect If truly present, the differences should be easily discerned by “eyeballing” the sheet GRADIENT OF NEGLECT UNILATERAL SPATIAL INATTENTION (NEGLECT) TREATMENT TREATMENT OPTIONS FOR UNILATERAL SPATIAL INATTENTION Vestibular V ib l Stimulation Si l i Hemi-Spatial Sun Rx Yoked Prisms Optokinetic Stimulation TREATMENT OPTIONS FOR VISUAL-SPATIAL INATTENTION VESTIBULAR TREATMENT TREATMENT OPTIONS FOR VISUAL-SPATIAL INATTENTION VESTIBULAR TREATMENT Neglect temporarily improved by caloric stimulation, neck vibration and optokinetic stimulation, but effects are transitory-lasting no more than 10-12 minutes TREATMENT OPTIONS FOR VISUAL-SPATIAL INATTENTION HEMI SPATIAL SUNGLASSES HEMI-SPATIAL TREATMENT OPTIONS FOR VISUAL-SPATIAL INATTENTION HEMI SPATIAL SUNGLASSES HEMI-SPATIAL Study by Arai, Ohi, et. al 1997 10 patients with unilateral left neglect Used copying and line bisection tasks TREATMENT OPTIONS FOR VISUAL-SPATIAL INATTENTION HEMI-SPATIAL SUNGLASSES Study by Arai, Ohi, et. al 1997 Used Hemi-Spatial Sun Rx Using spectrometer: 90% light penetration in the unshaded half 08% light penetration in the shaded half TREATMENT OPTIONS FOR VISUAL-SPATIAL INATTENTION HEMI SPATIAL SUNGLASSES HEMI-SPATIAL Study by Arai, Ohi, et. al 1997 4 out of 10 patients showed some improvement One patient demonstrated dramatic and lasting i improvement t in i functional f ti l activities ti iti TREATMENT OPTIONS FOR VISUAL-SPATIAL INATTENTION YOKED PRISM (PRISM ADAPTATION) TREATMENT OPTIONS FOR VISUAL SPATIAL INATTENTION VISUAL-SPATIAL YOKED PRISM (PRISM ADAPTATION) TREATMENT Study by Rossetti, et. al 1998 12 patients with right brain damage, mean age 62 years All in neuro rehabilitation hospital for moderate to severe h i l i and hemiplegia d somatosensory t dysfunction d f ti secondary d to t stroke t k TREATMENT OPTIONS FOR VISUAL SPATIAL INATTENTION VISUAL-SPATIAL YOKED PRISM (PRISM ADAPTATION) TREATMENT Study by Rossetti, et. al 1998 Study took place 3 weeks->14 months post stroke (average 9 weeks) Used 10 degree (18 prism diopter) Base Left prisms Performed simple pointing task YOKED PRISM (PRISM ADAPTATION) FOR VISUAL-SPATIAL INATTENTION YOKED PRISM (PRISM ADAPTATION) FOR VISUAL-SPATIAL INATTENTION YOKED PRISM (PRISM ADAPTATION) FOR VISUAL-SPATIAL INATTENTION Study by Rossetti, Rossetti et. et al 1998…continued 1998 continued In the study, using Yoked Prisms, the positive effect was a minimum of two t o hours, ho rs as compared to other treatments where here the effects lasted no more than 10-12 minutes Positive effect were found for both sensorimotor and cognitive spatial functions “The prisms do not merely act as a passive modifier of sensory afferents (like caloric, vibrational, or optokinetic stimulation), but can be seen as stimulating active processes involved in the plasticity of sensorimotor correspondences by activating brain functions related to multisensory integration and space representation.” YOKED PRISM (PRISM ADAPTATION) FOR VISUAL-SPATIAL INATTENTION Study by Rossetti, et. al 1998…continued Postulated mechanisms to account for the strong improvement in patients with neglect: Stimulation of short-term p plasticity y of brain functions related to spatial p transformations and spatial representation may favor the neural restoration of the right hemispheric functions when they have been impaired by a lesion Exposure alters the coordinate transformations used by the nervous system to represent extrapersonal space YOKED PRISM (PRISM ADAPTATION) FOR VISUAL-SPATIAL INATTENTION Study by Rossetti, et. al 1998…continued Some conclusions by the authors of the study: “The dramatic improvement induced by prism adaptation suggests g is given g to the brain that stimulates the recovery y process” p that a signal “An attractive aspect of the prism exposure lies in it’s non-invasive nature, acceptability to patients, and ease of use” “The duration of the effects, owing to central active process being activated, indicates that this technique may come top have a major role i the in h neuropsychological h l i l rehabilitation h bili i off hemispatial h i i l neglect.” l ” YOKED PRISM (PRISM ADAPTATION) FOR VISUAL-SPATIAL INATTENTION Study by Rossetti, et. al 1998…continued Rossetti Rossetti’s s work had been replicated by many researchers, in most cases with with similar results: Mcintosh, M i t h et. t al., l 2002 Farne, et. al., 2002 Frassinetti, et. al., 2002 Rode, et. al., 2003 Luate, et. al., 2006 Sumitani, et. al., 2007 Seriano, et. al., 2007 UNILATERAL SPATIAL INATTENTION EXCELLENT REFERENCE ON PRISM ADAPTATION !!!
