The aim of our study is to compare the sensory, perception and functional status in left and right hemiplegic patients and to investigate the relationship between sensory perception dysfunction and activities of daily living. 45 hemiplegic patients, 25 left and 20 right hemiplegic included to the study. The Ayres Southern California Sensory Integration test was used to assess sensory –perception problems (design copying and figure ground peception to examine visual perception, finger identification, localization of tactile stimuli, localization of double tactile stimuli to evaluate somatosensory perception and left-right discrimination tests ) And also, activities of daily living and Kertesz Praxis test were applied. When sensory and perception functions were compared between left and right hemiplegic patients; left hemiplegic patients were more successfull at design copying and figure ground perception test which are visual perception tests (p<0.05). There was no significant different between right and left hemiplegic patients in other tests (p>0.05). There was a siginificant correlation between sensory perception and activities of daily living (p<0.05). The results of the study showed the importance of detailed evaluation of sensory perception functions to increase independence level in daily living activities of hemiplegic patients.
