Right as well as left unilateral spatial neglect influences rehabilitation outcomes and its recovery is important for determining discharge destination in subacute stroke patients.

CONCLUSIONS: CBS is more useful than SIAS-M for prediction of functional outcomes in patients with both left and right hemisphere damages. Improvement of USN is important for returning home. Cognitive impairment may interfere with recovery of USN. CLINICAL REHABILITATION IMPACT: Improvements of USN are important for planning the rehabilitation goal and determination of discharge destination. PMID: 31134787 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
