CROSSED LEG SIGN
CROSSED LEG SIGN Crossed leg sign is a condition, where the right leg is placed over the left leg (right leg crosses over the left leg). This is a sign of severe unilateral spatial neglect (USN), which is typically seen with large right parietal strokes. The patient is unable to locate the left half and midline, which results in wrong positioning of the right leg, while on the bed. In the initial days after right parietal stroke, one may notice frequent rubbing of the left leg by the right leg.
