Objective: The object of this study is confIrm the decline in neglect through the administration of neurocog-nitive rehabilitation, causing an increase in visual perception function, and having a flow-on effect on the upper-limb function. By studying the effect on neglect patients with Lt. hemiplegia.
Methods: The subject for this study has been chosen from a group of patients that are admitted in B Rehabilitation hospital, located in Incheon, Korea. Out of left-side hemiplegia with neglect have suffered the condition for more than 6 months were selected. The participant for this study is a 40 year old male. The subject was admitted to the current location on the 5th of June 2014 in order to receive professional rehabilitation. The patient went through 5 instances of neurocognitive rehabilitation treatment over the period of 8 weeks, lasting from the 9th of June 2014, to the 1st of August 2014.
Results: Upon looking at the results of this study, it showed an increase of 22 points in the Manual Function Test for upper-limb function, an increase by 6 pegs in the Purdue Pegboard test, and in the Grooved Pegboard Test and the Jebsen- Taylor Hand Function Test, the patient went from being unable to complete, to being able to complete the test. An increase of grip strength to lOkg, lateral pinch to 6.5kg, palm pinch to 5.5kg, tip pinch test to 3.5kg was shown in the patient. There was also an increase in 17 points in the raw score for the MVPT-3.
Conclusion: The administration of neurocognitive rehabilitation caused an overall reduction the effects of neglect. By the reduction of neglect, the patient``s visual perception function were enhanced, leading to an overall improvement in their upper-limb motor function. Overall, this contribution will be useful in improving the quality of future treatment for patients with neurological damage.
