Human simulation under anosognosia and neglect in stroke patients

Abstract

Simulation of functional recovery of stroke patients affected by anosognosia and neglect is crucial for physicians to aid their assessment. The objective of the present paper is describe a newly devised environment to simulate the initial, intermediate and final affectation of upper limb deficit in stroke patients with anosognosia and neglect. After a time lapse from the initial assessment and on rehabilitation therapy, we perform a new assessment. With the parameters from the two assessment we are then able to simulate the functional recovery of patients within the same time period.
