Abstract
Purpose: To evaluate the effectiveness of two rehabilitation techniques for unilateral spatial neglect, contra-lesional limb activation and sustained attention training, on impaired activities of daily living. Methods: Two single case, time-series designs incorporating baseline, intervention and post-intervention phases. Results: Significant improvements were observed in both neuropsychological measures and in the independent performance of everyday activities coincident with the start of training. The benefits were well maintained during the post-training period. Conclusions: The results support the use of the two techniques in achieving functional goals for unilateral neglect patients.
