This is very interesting! I am actually working with somebody with this syndrome and I guessed about the bit of inhibit the upper limb, but thank you for the tip about the lower limbs! I have been investigating this morning the best way to help this person and I came across an article that says that the visual feedback, like the mirror, is not really recomended as they use their sight but not the propioception. It mentions too that it doesnt apply for everyone (of course we need to see our patients as a whole). Whats your opinion about this? :) happy to hear any experiences and information. Have a good day!
@@kerriegeovanes842 thank you for you reply. I have a young stroke patient who experiences this and also a fnd component too. As a student I don't know if fnd can also cause pusher syndrome? she had a stroke of course but i would be interested in any other neurological disorders that can cause this as i have only ever seen it in stroke patients. Thanks again I appreciate your time :)
Is it possible in pusher syndrome for an individual to push straight backwards and into full extension (stiff like a board)? Basically slide off the bed?
Yes, they can do that also. Same principle applies. Support them, give them something firm to lean on in front of them. Don’t push them forward; they will just push back harder.
