Objective To investigate the assessment and treatment methods for unilateral spatial agnosia as well as its influence on the functional recovery of patients after stroke, so as to comprehensively understand unilateral spatial agnosia and formulate an effective treatment plan to improve the effect of rehabilitation for stroke patients.
Methods A total of 86 patients with unilateral spatial agnosia were analyzed and a pre-treatment and post-treatment comparison was done.
Results Of the 86 patients, 21% suffered from unilateral spatial agnosia. The occurrence of unilateral spatial agnosia was related to the location of the stroke lesion. The treatment group witnessed significant improvement after rehabilitation training of correcting unilateral spatial agnosia (P lt;0.05).
Conclusion The correct rehabilitation method is beneficial for an early improvement in a patient’s cognitive ability. This also lays a foundation for the recovery of function in their limbs.
