left neglect
Left neglect is a neurological condition often seen in individuals who have experienced a stroke or brain injury, particularly affecting the right hemisphere of the brain. It results in a lack of awareness or attention to the left side of their environment, leading to difficulties in recognizing objects, people, or even parts of their own body on that side.
People with left neglect may ignore the left side of their visual field, causing challenges in daily activities such as reading, eating, or navigating spaces. Treatment typically involves rehabilitation strategies aimed at improving awareness and attention to the neglected side, helping individuals regain a more balanced perception of their surroundings.
