Methods:
6 patients with unilateral neglect and 6 control subjects were instructed to walk a short distance to a doorway.
半側無視を伴う6人の患者と6個の規制対象に、短距離を戸口まで歩かせるよう指示した.
The position of the top of their head in relation to a scale positioned above the door was measured.
ドアの上に置かれたスケールと関連した彼らの頭の先端の位置を測定した.
This was repeated 10times for each subjects. In one-half of these tests, the subjects were instructed to clench and unclench their left hand while walking.
それぞれの対象に、この測定を10回繰り返し実施した. これらのテストの半分では、歩いている間、彼らの左手を開くよう指示した.
Outcomes:
All participants with neglect deviated to the right of centre as measured by their position in the doorway.
戸口の彼らの位置によって測定された結果、半側無視を伴う全ての患者がセンターの右に逸脱した.
Analysis of variance demonstrated deviation to the right was greater in the neglect (no hand movement) condition than in other conditions.
分散分析の示された右方偏位は他の状態より無視(手の運動がない)状態で大きかった.
Hand movement resulted in significantly less deviation toward the right in neglect patients when compared to no hand movements (p=0.03).
手の運動のない(p=0.03)ものと比べ、手の運動は無視患者で右への逸脱が減少した.
The neglect hand movement condition did not differ significantly from control conditions.
無視手の動き状態は対照条件から有意差はなかった.
