Agnes is a 67-year-old patient who lives independently. Following a stroke, Agnes’ family have noticed that she struggles to identify objects in her home if they have been moved. In particular, if items have been placed on their side or at an unfamiliar angle. However, if Agnes picks up the item and moves it to a more usual orientation, then she is able to correctly identify it.
