“…In addition, the reaction time for stimuli in the left space was delayed in the invalid left condition compared with that in the valid left condition. These results are consistent with those of previous studies using the Posner task [11][12][13][14][15][16][17]. These delayed reaction times were comparable to those of patients classified in the moderate neglect group in a previous study by Machner et al [12].…”

“…The Posner task is a computerized reaction time test for neuropsychological assessment, which can provide a detailed evaluation of both endogenous and exogenous attention [11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18]. Endogenous attention implies goal-directed attention by voluntary action, whereas exogenous attention implies stimulus-driven attention by external stimuli.…”

Unilateral spatial neglect (USN) causes difficulties in disengaging attention from the right side to unexpected targets on the left. However, the relationship between egocentric spatial position and attentional disengagement remains unclear. Therefore, this study aimed to clarify the relationship between trunk position and attentional disengagement. Thirty-eight patients with early stroke onset were classified as follows: USN (n = 18), right brain damage without USN (n = 10), and left brain damage (n = 10). The primary outcome was reaction time (RT) in the modified Posner task (MPT). The MPT comprised a condition in which the preceding cue and target direction were the same (valid condition) and a condition in which the directions were opposite (invalid condition). RT to the target was calculated. The MPT was performed in three different trunk positions (trunk midline, left, and right). In each group, the RT was compared on the basis of the stimulus conditions and trunk position. The RT was delayed in the valid and invalid left conditions, especially in the invalid left condition. The RT of the trunk right condition was significantly reduced compared with that of trunk midline and left conditions in the invalid left condition. Thus, trunk position influences attentional disengagement. This study contributes to the rehabilitation of patients with neglect symptoms.
