Patients could get hemispatial neglect syndrome after a stroke. Two patients explain the disruption to their everyday lives due to this syndrome. For more information about Stroke - got to www.strokefoundation.com
This was very interesting and informative. I didn't know that this existed! Big thanks to the families and staff for making the video/participating in it so that we could learn more about this condition!
Im 13 and i had a stroke on the right side of the brain i use to hemineglect a lot but now sincei know i have a problem i can get over it and got rid of it so dont give up stroke patients
Alexi Cordeiro-Beaupré i am 23 yold now, i got hrmoregic stroke when i was 18 y old but the therapy only made me can walk algain and move some stuff now i am still hemianopsia on my left side What therapy did u do?
I think it’s essentially like their whole reality on the affected side is absent from consciousness, it’s not just vision it’s the whole concept of something existing on that side it would seem at least
Watching these people draw is extremely intriguing. It's like watching a unique artists style and I wouldn't be surprised if there's an artist somewhere through history who had this condition and didn't know about it. The drawings hes making here have a picasso-esque look to them.
I’m aware that i neglect my left side. Because i cannot move my left side of my body, I’m in wheelchair. 2 years ago i had an accident with my power chair. Because i focused looking to my left to not miss something important, i forgot my right side which is perfectly normal. Unfortunately while i was highly focused on my left, a stupid pole from a street sign appeared ftom right.my stop was not fast enough so i broke my wheelchair amd also my right foot. That was very stupid..
@@hazazihazazi4204 right hemispheric dominance is not mandatory. There is a vast literature about right hemispatial neglect caused by left hemispheric stroke.
I'm colour blind. People keep telling me there is a number 8 in this bunch of dots but clearly there is just a 3. Also they make a lot noise about some trees turning in Autumn long before the leaves fall. Just looks like a tree to me. Obviously this is not anywhere remotely as incapacitating as a hemiparesis but it is interesting to have an analogue of what it must feel to not have that imagination-space conception of what others are describing or inciting is present.
fyi that quote at the beginning was Donald Rumsfeld trying to explain why were invading Iraq when there was no evidence at all that our reasons for doing so were justified.
this is has nothing to do with the eyes or ears, it is not only about reception but also processing in the brain. try to think of it more like the patient doesnt even know the left part of the table or dinner plate exists, and he also doesn't think about it.
+Annekeeeeeee. Absolutely but less pronounced and less frequent (because in over 90% of us the right space is processed by both hemispheres but the left space is left unprocessed if there is damage to the right hemisphere).
