Spatial Attention Disregard in Children With Hemiplegic Cerebral Palsy.

CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE: Children with hemiplegic CP demonstrate developmental disregard in both the motor and the visual-spatial attention domains. Including evaluation of and intervention for visual-spatial attention for children with hemiplegic CP in the traditionally motor-oriented rehabilitation approach is recommended. WHAT THIS ARTICLE ADDS: This research provides evidence that children with hemiplegic CP demonstrate disregard in the domain of visual-spatial attention. The findings suggest that evaluation of and intervention for visual-spatial attention should be included in CP rehabilitation in addition to the traditionally motor-oriented approach.
