Summary

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.

Conditions

  • Pusher Syndrome

Interventions

PROCEDURE

experimental group: task-oriented training individualized by the gravity perception

All participants received 50 minutes of physical therapy per session for 5 days per week for 8 weeks. Subjects in the experimental group underwent 20 minutes of task-oriented training individualized by the gravity perception following 30 minutes of regular physical therapy. All outcome measurements were evaluated on the day before intervention (pretraining), 4 weeks and 8 weeks after training by the same physical therapist (who was blinded to the group of the subjects). These regular protocols including preparatory techniques, mat activity, sitting, standing, and walking training.

PROCEDURE

control group: visual feedback treatment

Subjects in the control group underwent 20 minutes of visual feedback (VF) treatment. The regular physical therapy protocols for the control group were the same as those used for the experimental group. These regular protocols including preparatory techniques, mat activity, sitting, standing, and walking training.
