Spatial neglect, a frequent consequence of stroke, is one of the invisible disabilities. Affected patients may, for example, ignore an object in their field of vision (visual neglect), fail to use the contralesional arm (motor neglect), or try to stand up on their own despite a severe motor deficit (anosognosia). These behaviors can be detrimental to the care relationship if they are not understood by professionals.

In a patient presenting with forgetfulness, history taking comprises asking questions pertaining to specific cognitive domains namely memory, language, executive function, visuospatial functions, and social cognition to characterize the clinical phenotype. The next step is to administer a standardized screening test for cognitive assessment, namely the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA)/mini mental status examination (MMSE). These have been validated in five Indian languages.
