Abstract
Aim: Unilateral Visual Neglect (UVN) in stroke patients refers not to respond or orient to a visual stimuli appearing on the side contralateral to the lesion. The purpose of this study was to explore the effect of the UVN on disability status and quality of life in stroke patients.

Nineteen of this patients were diagnosed with UVN by using the Line Bisection Test, Letter Cancellation Test and Catherine Bergego Scale. Information was collected on disability status [Barthel Index (BI) and the Rivermead Mobility Index (RMI)] and the Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQOL) [(SF-36)]. Results: It was determinated that the BI and RMI scores in UVN patients were lower than the non-UVN patients (p
