Family-Clinician Collaboration to Improve Neglect and Rehabilitation Outcome After Stroke

Stopped early · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Stroke, Spatial Neglect

In brief

Spatial neglect may occur in patients who have had a stroke. People with spatial neglect often pay much more attention to one side of the body while ignoring the other side, even though they have no difficulty seeing. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the impact on stroke recovery, including spatial neglect, of the Family-Clinician Collaboration program, where a family member of a stroke survivor actively interacts with clinical staff members providing inpatient rehabilitation services to the stroke survivor.
