The present investigation examined the relationship between performance on the Michigan Neuropsychological Battery (MNB) and selected self-care skills in a group of patients with unilateral cerebrovascular lesions. Among MNB measures, left-sided somatosensory and motor functions were the best predictors of self-care skills, showing that in these stroke patients lower level cerebral functions mediated by the right hemisphere are more strongly related to the self-care skills examined than higher cerebral functions. Also, evidence that patients with cerebrovascular lesions in the left hemisphere performed better than patients with right hemisphere lesions in several self-care categories is further indication that right hemisphere processes have a special role to play in the mediation of these self-care activities. The research and clinical implications of these findings are noted.
本研究调查了一组单侧脑血管病变患者在密歇根神经心理测验（MNB）中的表现与所选自我护理技能之间的关系。在MNB各项测量中，左侧躯体感觉和运动功能是自我护理技能的最佳预测指标，这表明在这些中风患者中，由右半球介导的较低水平的脑功能比较高水平的脑功能与所检查的自我护理技能的相关性更强。此外，有证据表明，在几个自我护理类别中，左半球脑血管病变患者的表现优于右半球病变患者，这进一步表明右半球在这些自我护理活动的调节中具有特殊作用。文中指出了这些发现的研究和临床意义。
