Screening tests are not enough to detect hemineglect

Abstract: -Objective: To verify the sensitivity of the conventional subtests of the Behavioral Inattention Test (BIT) in the diagnosis of hemineglect after stroke. Method: One hundred and two patients with cerebral infarct or hemorrhage were prospectively evaluated. In 22, hemineglect was diagnosed using standard BIT criteria. The frequency of hemineglect using 6 commonly used screening subtests of this battery was assessed. Results: Hemineglect would not be recognized in 10 patients if they were only screened using the… Show more

“…The accuracy of results depended heavily on the precision of instruments and consistency in measurement. Only 50% of studies followed evidence-based recommendations in favour of diagnosing neglect/HI with validated test batteries rather than single cancellation task/s; the rationale [ 35 , 43 , 44 ] being that several tests are more likely to detect neglect than a single test. To this end, the proportion of the HI+ patients detected in studies that assessed with the BIT is considerably higher than in those that used single tests.…”

“…Measures were Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA) [12], Modified Rankine Score (0-6) modified [13], Motor Activity Log-14 (MAL-14) [14], Self-Efficacy for Exercise Scale [15], Box and Block Test (BBT) [16], line bisection test [17] and the Technology Use Questionnaire (developed by authors, see Appendix 1).…”

“…Embora apresente combinações de déficits cognitivos, marcadamente caracteriza-se pela omissão parcial ou completa de reação a estímulos apresentados no campo visual contralateralmente à lesão cerebral (Verdon, Schwartz et al, 2010) -usualmente no lobo parietal direito, raramente após lesão do hemisfério esquerdo por razões até o momento desconhecidas (Bartolomeo e Chokron, 2002;Bartolomeo, Thiebaut De Schotten et al, 2007;Lopes, Ferreira et al, 2007;Bear, Connors et al, 2008a). Pesquisas realizadas com indivíduos portadores da síndrome de negligência visuo-espacial (Bartolomeo e Chokron, 2002;Lopes, Ferreira et al, 2007) tem fornecido indícios valiosos sobre os mecanismos de funcionamento cerebrais envolvendo direcionamento atencional, representação do espaço e controle do movimento.…”

“…Quando a negligência é severa, o paciente pode se comportar como se metade de seu universo houvesse abruptamente cessado de existir. Em outros pacientes, a negligência unilateral é sutil e pode não ser detectada pela observação do comportamento espontâneo, requerendo utilização de testes ou manobras especializadas para revelá-la (Lopes, Ferreira et al, 2007). E, apesar dos aspectos mais significativos da negligência situarem-se na esfera visual, o fenômeno pode ser multimodal, de modo que o paciente exibe também uma tendência enviesada à direita para detecção de alvos somatossensoriais, auditivos e até mesmo olfativos.…”
