[Rehabilitation of the hemianopsia patient from the viewpoint of the ergotherapist].
Hemianopsia, above all if it is associated with other neuropsychological deficits (neglect, disturbances of spatial orientation) is very disturbing for the patient in daily life. The patient has difficulty dressing, exhibits poor spatial orientation, has difficulty construing spatial relations or reading. Ergotherapy tries to combat all these disorders. There are various methods of treatment at the ergotherapist's disposal: activities of everyday life, such as self-help and household training, functional games, craft skills and neurotraining, which aims in particular at improving intellectual function. In a well-protected environment the patient learns to judge his or her capabilities correctly once again and to make the best of his or her strength or weaknesses in daily life.
