The relationship between balance and visuospatial attention on hemispheric stroke survivors: A study of egocentric and allocentric neural processing.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Impaired balance and visuospatial attention are well-documented sequelae of stroke. However, the interplay between balance function and visuospatial attention, particularly within egocentric and allocentric reference frames, remains poorly understood.

Objective

This study aimed to elucidate the relationship between balance and visuospatial attention in stroke survivors with left- and right-hemisphere lesions and to investigate the underlying neural mechanisms.

Methods

Seventeen patients with right-hemisphere stroke, sixteen with left-hemisphere stroke, and eighteen age-matched healthy controls participated in this study. Balance function was evaluated using Prokin, while visuospatial attention was assessed through tasks involving egocentric and allocentric
