Image for visuospatial deficits

visuospatial deficits

Visuospatial deficits refer to difficulties in understanding and perceiving the spatial relationship between objects, including where things are located and how they relate to each other. This can make tasks like reading maps, judging distances, or copying shapes challenging. These difficulties often result from brain issues such as stroke or injury affecting areas responsible for processing visual and spatial information. People with visuospatial deficits might bump into things, have trouble organizing their environment, or struggle with visual tasks, impacting daily activities despite having normal vision.
