    Question Pusher syndrome

    Hi, Could anyone tell me if they have any advice in the treatment of pusher syndrome.

    I have tried visual prompts for posture correction with good effect in sitting and supported standing. I'm working on righting head movement and active weight bearing to non affected side which seems to be improving with some carry over. The problem I'm having is correction with activity, having to stop activity due to pushing and leaning to affected side as soon as we start the activity i.e cones, reaching for cup. The only success we've had is rolling a ball with affected hand?

    If you have any ideas or good journal recommendations please tell! P.S. my patient had right CVA 3/52 ago, no weakness on the left

    Thank you, Robbie
