Abstract

Background: Hemispatial neglect or unilateral neglect is a failure to report, respond, or orient to stimuli that are presented contralateral to a brain lesion, provided that this failure is not due to elementary sensory or motor disorders. There is a complete lack of awareness of one half of space, at which point, patients behave as if that half of the world does not exist. The estimated prevalence of hemispatial neglect after unilateral stroke is 30%. In this study, the treatment using brain gym exercises and conventional treatment for hemispatial neglect post- stroke shall be analysed
