Abstract

(1) Background: Existing treatment methods for neglect are concentrated on egocentric neglect and may lead to various problems such as cost/space constraints and portability. Therefore, this study seeks to determine how a new treatment (also known as twins therapy, TT) for stroke patients can improve an existing problem associated with neglect. (2) Method: A pre/post-test control group research design was used and both groups continued to receive existing rehabilitation treatment, whilst TT intervention was only added to the experimental group. TT intervention was conducted for a total of 20 sessions (1 session for 30 min/day, 5 days/week, for 4 weeks). (3) Result: There was no significant difference in the manual function test (MFT) and the Korean version of the Modified Barthel Index (K-MBI) items (p > 0.05) before and after the TT intervention. However, the score and execution time of the apple cancellation test showed a significant reduction only in the experimental group (p < 0.05). (4) Conclusion: TT not only improved egocentric neglect, but also allocentric neglect symptoms in stroke patients.
