Unilateral neglect syndrome has been defined as thefailure to report, respond or orient to novel or meaningful stimuli presented to the side opposite a brain lesion,when this failure cannot be attributed to either sensor yor motor defects (Heilman & Valenstein, 2003). Unilateral neglect is usually seen after right-hemisphere brain damage. Studies show incidence levels for left neglect ranging from 17 to 80% (Plummer et al., 2003;Swan, 2001). Unilateral neglect is a heterogeneous syndrome that can be divided into different subtypes.Hemineglect can be described according to the affected space (peripersonal, personal or extrapersonal space), the mode of output (sensory or motor neglect) and the sensory modality e.g. visual, somatosensory or auditory neglect (Jehkonen et al., 2006; Plummer et al., 2003).Partial or complete spontaneous recovery mostly occurs in the first month after stroke (Swan, 2001). The presence of unilateral neglect significantly delays recovery of hemiparesis and patients often perceive more problems with a ctivities of daily living (Jehkonen et al.,2006). It is also associated with falls, longer stays in rehabilitation and the need for more assistance at discharge (Kortte & Hillis, 2009).
