Spatial neglect is a common consequence of stroke. Neglect behaviour is typically exacerbated by increased task demands. It was thus anticipated that the addition of a secondary task requiring general attention (walking) would worsen performance on tests of spatial neglect. Here, however, we report a patient in whom neglect was considerably reduced when performing a visual search task while walking. |
