Unilateral spatial neglect (USN), a debilitating deficit that commonly occurs following a stroke, is characterized by a difficulty in orienting to or responding to events that generally occur in the space opposite to that of the brain lesion. USN is known to severely affect the stroke recovery, including mobility. The research in the field of USN impacts on mobility is scarce, where a handful of studies collectively present inconsistent findings and design shortcomings. Another important practice gap in the field of post-stroke USN refers to its assessment. Clinicians are currently limited in the use of traditional tools to evaluate USN that are consistently reported failing to pick up mild but clinically significant deficits. With the eme...
