Answer 18

body sceme

Question 19

What are the three parts to a body scheme

Answer 19

Left or right neglect, right or left discrimination, and extinction

Question 20

A clinician is working with a post-stroke patient. The clinician is touching both of the patients arms at the same time with the same pressure, but the patient can only feel pressure on one arm. This is an example of what

Answer 20

extinction

Question 21

What is the difference between neglect and visual loss

Answer 21

neglect is when a patient doesn’t use a side of their body at all. A visual loss just means they are fully aware of the involved side, they just cannot see it.
