Standardization of Spatial Neglect Assessment Tests
Sponsor: Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris
Summary
Spatial neglect is a common cognitive disorder in stroke patients, characterized by a lateralized deficit in attention and intention. This research focuses on defining norms for tests to assess spatial neglect. The norms correspond to the results obtained in a population free of any disorder that could have an impact on test performance. These results can vary in a normal, non-pathological way, with certain parameters such as age, sex, laterality or level of education. Defining these norms in healthy volunteers is therefore essential for interpreting results in patients suspected of spatial neglect, and in particular for defining pathological thresholds above which the diagnosis of spatial neglect can be retained. To answer the research question, we plan to include 210 people with no central neurological disease (stroke, epilepsy and multiple sclerosis in particular), in a single-center study in the neurovascular department of the Raymond-Poincaré hospital (Garches). The 210 subjects will be divided into 10-year age groups, from 20 to 89 years, with the recruitment of 30 participants per age group (15 men and 15 women): 20-29 years, 30-39 years, 40-49 years, 50-59 years, 60-69 years, 70-79 years, 80-89 years.

Interventions
Neuropsychological assessment tests for spatial neglect
Standardized administration of four paper-and-pencil tests designed to assess different forms of spatial neglect: * Apples Cancellation Test (Birmingham Cognitive Screen) for egocentric and allocentric neglect, * Simplified Comb and Razor Test for personal and motor neglect, * Line Bisection Test (30 cm ruler, blind version) for tactile neglect, * Dot Test for visual exploration. The purpose is to establish normative reference scores in healthy French-speaking adults according to age, sex, and professional qualification. No therapeutic intervention or patient population is involved.
