[Recovery of unilateral spatial neglect after stroke over the time]

Unilateral spatial neglect (USN) can have severe functional consequences for patients. Many rehabilitation tools have been proposed in the literature, but only a few well-controlled systematic studies are available. Also, there is no consensus on the effectiveness of these rehabilitation techniques. Yet, left USN is one of the most common neuropsychological symptoms after right hemispheric stroke. This article reviews the main tools available to clinicians, their limitations, and prospects for the development of new rehabilitation options.
