Standing and supine positions are better than sitting in improving rightward deviation in right-hemispheric stroke patients with unilateral spatial neglect: A randomized trial.

Body position affects USN in stroke patients and that the standing and supine positions improve USN better than the sitting position. Some possible mechanisms are: muscle contractions in the lower limbs and the trunk could have affected results in the standing position, and reduction in gravitational stimulation in the supine position could have played a role.
