Anosognosia for hemiplegia as a global deficit in motor awareness: Evidence from the non-paralysed limb

▶ Anosognosia for Hemiplegia (AHP) involves defective sensorimotor comparisons. ▶ Large motor errors involving the unaffected arm are not consciously detected in AHP. ▶ Errors involving the unaffected arm are corrected without conscious awareness in AHP. ▶ High (conscious) and low (non-conscious) level motor awareness may dissociate in AHP. ▶ Motor awareness for both arms might involve a shared right-hemisphere mechanism.
