Combining Physical Therapy With Vestibular Stimulation to Improve Postural Stability in Pusher's Syndrome

NCT03831594 · Status: WITHDRAWN · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL

Last updated 2023-11-08

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

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.
