Course Description
Patients who have suffered from a stroke often present with various balance deficits. Pushing behavior or "pusher syndrome" as it is commonly known, can be one of the more confounding and frustrating to deal with and treat in the clinic. Fortunately, research over the past decade has helped elucidate this condition and provides us with insights into how best to treat our patients who push.
This course will familiarize the learner with modern definitions and identifying features of controversial pushing as well as instill an understanding of the principles of evaluation and treatment for this disorder.
This seminar-on-demand is 2 contact hours in length (check your state’s approval status in the state specific course catalog for your profession).
