| Description: | Do you need ideas for managing the “pusher” patient? Learn how to formulate a treatment plan based on the particular impairment and level of severity. Full Description: Management of patients who present with pusher syndrome following a stroke can be challenging. There is a greater likelihood of recovery when we understand the mechanism causing the pushing, and develop interventions that correlate to the impairments specific to this sub-group of patients. This course will introduce participants to the latest theories regarding the causes of pusher syndrome. A framework will be developed to assist the clinician in classifying the “pusher” patient into a functional recovery category which will assist with appropriate goal-setting, thus maximizing treatment and guiding progression. The intervention strategies presented will meet the needs of the patient along the recovery spectrum including severe, lower-level “pushers” through higher-level, ambulatory patients with persistent pushing and midline deficits. Course Includes: Live Q&A Presentation Handout Post session recording access CE Credit What You Will Learn: Identify common impairments of patients who push following a stroke Explain the causes of pushing behavior Distinguish the characteristics of low, moderate, and high level “pushers” Apply appropriate treatment interventions based on identified level of severity of the pushing behavior Describe treatment progression for a patient presenting with “pusher” behavior Your Presenter: MICHELLE GREEN, PT, DPT, is a licensed physical therapist who has worked with neurologically involved patients within in-patient rehab settings for nearly 20 years.
