Spatial neglect is a debilitating poststroke neurocognitive disorder associated with prolonged hospitalization and poor rehabilitation outcomes. The literature suggests a high prevalence of this disorder, but clinicians have difficulty reliably identifying affected survivors. This discrepancy may result from suboptimal use of validated neglect assessment procedures. In this article, we suggest use of a validated assessment tool that is sensitive to identification of neglect and its functional consequences - the Catherine Bergego Scale (CBS). We provide detailed item-by-item instructions for observation and scoring - the Kessler Foundation Neglect Assessment Process (KF-NAP). Rehabilitation researchers may be able to use the CBS via the KF-NAP to measure ecological outcomes and specific, separable perceptual-attentional and motor-exploratory spatial behaviors.
空间忽略是一种使人衰弱的脑卒中后神经认知障碍，与延长住院时间和康复效果不佳有关。文献表明这种障碍的患病率很高，但临床医生很难可靠地识别出受影响的幸存者。这种差异可能是由于对经过验证的忽视评估程序使用不当造成的。在本文中，我们建议使用一种经过验证的评估工具，该工具对忽视及其功能后果的识别具有敏感性-凯瑟琳·贝热戈量表（CBS）。我们提供了详细的观察和评分说明-凯斯勒基金会忽视评估过程（KF-NAP）。康复研究人员可以通过 KF-NAP 使用 CBS 来衡量生态结果以及特定的、可分离的知觉注意和运动探索空间行为。
