Abstract:
The right hemisphere lesion may cause motor impersistence. Thirty-nine patients were selected for this study, 13 with right hemisphere lesion, 13 with left hemisphere lesion and age matched 13 normal controls. The neuropsychological test was done between seven days and two months after onset of stroke. Total impersistence scores of left hemisphere lesion are 395.31 and those of right hemisphere lesion and controls were 277.34, 422.82, respectively. In right hemisphere lesion, the impersistence scores of frontal lobe, parietal lobe and other sites were 303.60, 251.00 and 323.00, respectively. In conclusion, it is suggested that motor impersistence is more affected in right hemisphere lesion than left hemisphere lesion. And especially, the right frontal lobe lesion is correlated with motor impersistence.
