Filter by:Pusher syndrome (PS) has been considered to be one of the most intriguing affections that severely interferes with posture control and motor recovery of stroke patients during rehabilitation. However, there is no evidence that reported tailored treatments based on different types of the verticality perception for stroke patients with PS. The hypothesis of the study is that the task-oriented training varied by the verticality perception may increase the posture control and motor ability for pusher syndrome in stroke patients. Stroke participants with PS will be recruit and receive task-oriented training varied by the verticality perception. Severity of pushing behavior, balance ability, motor ability, verticality perception, and diffusion tensor imaging were evaluated.
The objective of this study is to evaluate whether the application of two laser visual feedback exercises and core stability exercises can positively influence postural orientation and the perception of postural verticalization compared to conventional treatments, with the final goal of improving the balance in sitting and standing and the functionality in activities of daily living.
The study is evaluating the effect of combining Galvanic Vestibular Stimulation (GVS) with standard Physiotherapy treatment in patients admitted to a neurological rehabilitation unit with Pusher syndrome (PS). Patients will be randomised to receive standard Physiotherapy treatment or standard treatment with GVS. Perceived verticality data will also be collected and analysed on age-matched controls. This data will be used to compare these results with the patients with PS. The investigators hypothesis that GVS and standard Physiotherapy treatment will lead to a greater improvement in functional ability and awareness of perceived verticality compared to standard Physiotherapy alone.
The purpose of this study is to see if a specific physical therapy intervention speeds recovery from stroke-related "pusher syndrome."
