AI Article Synopsis
- A study was done to see if helping a man with a walking problem could make him better at moving through tight spaces.
- The man, who was 66 years old, had a brain injury affecting his ability to walk straight.
- After practicing walking through a narrow opening for three weeks, he got better at balance and walking distance, but it didn’t help much with daily activities like getting dressed or eating.
Article Abstract
We investigated the effect of a 3-week intervention-wherein a patient with unilateral spatial neglect walks through a narrow opening while entering from the contralesional side-to improve walking ability or ADL. A 66-year-old man was diagnosed with right parietal subcortical hemorrhage. We used an ABA single-case design; period B was set as the intervention. The intervention improved the continuous walking distance and balance ability and decreased the number of collisions when walking through the narrow opening; however, it exerted minimal effect on ADL. Thus, the intervention may effectively improve continuous physical or spatial attention behavior, regardless of ADL improvement.
