ANSWERS
1. Anosognosia is more likely to be associated with right than with left limb hemiplegia.
False: Anosognosia is the lack of awareness of disease. It usually results from non-dominant parietal lobe lesion. It is usually associated with unilateral neglect and left hemiplegia (Lishman 1997, p. 18; Mitchell 2004, p. 85).
