Term
How will unilateral spatial inattention manifest when performing VAs
Definition
Decreased VAs on one side of chart
Term
How will unilateral spatial inattention manifest when performing FDT perimetry
Definition
No field loss
Term
Strokes can cause unilateral spatial inattention, especially if ____________ _______________ artery is affected
Definition
Middle Cerebral Artery
Term
Which is more frequent, right or left brain damage?
Definition
Right brain is more frequent
Term
4 lesion sites associated with USI/neglect
Definition
Right inferior parietal lobule
Ventral frontal & superior temporal gyrus
Thalamus
Basal Ganglia
Term
Which is more likely to cause USI/N, stroke or TBI
Definition
Stroke is more likely to cause USI/N
Term
3 Categories of USI/N
Definition
1. Memory and Representational Deficits
2. Action-Intentional Disorders (motor neglect)
3. Inattention (Sensory neglect)
Term
Describe Motor neglect
Definition
inability to move in space contralateral to the damaged hemisphere
Term
Describe directional hypokinesia
Definition
Slowed initiation of ipsilesional arm movements to contralesional space
Term
The ________ hemisphere of the brain attends to both the right and left hemisphere whereas
the ____________ hemisphere attends primarily to the right hemispace
Definition
Right attends to both right and left
Left attends primarily to the right
Term
Anosoagnosia
Definition
failure to recognize severe hemiplegia
Term
2 most sensitive paper/pencil cancellation tests
Definition
Line Crossing
Star Cancellation
Term
Differentiate the response on the line bisection task by a patient with a hemianopia compared to a pt with USI/N
Definition
Hemianopia-transect line in same direction as field loss (contralesional)
USI/N-transect line away from bad side (ipsilesionally)
Term
Most likely cause of a tick placed towards the right side on a line bisection task
Definition
Neglect is most likely
Term
Most likely cause of a tick placed towards the left side on a line bisection task
Definition
Hemianopsia is most likely cause
Term
Who has fewer glances into the affected field, hemianopia vs. USI/N
Definition
USI/N have fewer scans into the neglected field compared to those with hemianopia
Term
USI/N vs. Hemianopia
Who will continue to omit letters in VA testing even when omission is pointed out
Definition
USI/N will continue to omit, those with hemianopia will scan for missing letters and call them out.
Term
Which way do USI/N patients tend to swerve when walking (contra or ipsilesional)
Definition
USI/N swerve towards side of lesion, so ipsilesional
Term
Which way do hemianopia patients tend to swerve when walking (contra or ipsilesional)
Definition
Those with hemianopia tend to swerve towards the bad field (contralesional)
Term
USI/N vs. Hemianopia
Which is more likely to deny that one side of their world seems to be missing?
Definition
USI/N more likely to deny, hemianopia likely to answer yes
Term
When collecting data for the laser localization tests, was there more of a midline shift monocularly or binocularly
Definition
Binocularly, ie. no glasses created more of a midline shift
Term
What is the benefit of rehab for brain injury when it often spontaneously recovers
Definition
Early intervention results in faster progress and less treatment required overall
