“…Incidence of the unilateral neglect in patients with acute stroke was assess by SiekierkaKleiser et al: 32.69% [19]. Pusher syndrome was observed in 9.4-28% post-stroke survivors [20][21][22]. According to the recent review of Allison et al, incidence of spasticity in poststroke survivors with weakness ranged from 33% to 78%, and contractures were present in >50%.…”

S u m m a r y B a c k g r o u n d . Spasticity, contractures, pusher syndrome, unilateral neglect and heterotopic ossifications are one of the most commonly observed effects in patients after stroke. There is still a need for research on predictors and early identification of such changes in order to minimize their incidence and negative influence to the recovery process.O b j e c t i v e . To evaluate the incidence and relationship between the selected complications of stroke spasticity, contractures, pusher syndrome, unilateral neglect and heterotopic ossifications. R e s u l t s . Among the 141 patients involved in the study, the results were as follows: spasticity was observed in 35.46%, contracture in 42.55%, pusher syndrome in 8.51%, hemispatial neglect in 4.26% and heterotopic ossifications were observed in 5.67%.C o n c l u s i o n s . Our findings confirm presented relatively new and important basic and clinical information extending existing studies, especially co-occurrence of selected stroke results and factors influencing their incidence. S t r e s z c z e n i e T ł o . Spastyczność, przykurcze, zespół odpychania, zespół zaniedbywania jednostronnego oraz skostnienia heterotopowe są jednymi z najczęściej spotykanych zmian w grupie pacjentów po udarze. Istnieje potrzeba badań nad predykatorami i wczesną identyfikacją ww. zmian, aby zminimalizować ich częstość występowania oraz negatywny wpływ na proces zdrowienia. C e l . Ocenić występowania oraz powiązania pomiędzy wybranymi następstwami udaru: spastycznością, przykurczami, zespołem odpychania, zespołem zaniedbywania jednostronnego oraz skotanieniami heterotopowymi. R e s u l t s . Wśród 141 pacjentów włączonych do badania spastyczność została zaobserwowana u 35,46%, przykurcze u 42,55%, zespół odpychania u 8,51%, zespół zaniedbywania jednostronnego u 4,26%, a skostnienia heterotopowe u 5,67%.W n i o s k i . Wyniki badania potwierdzają stosunkowo nowe i ważne podstawowe i kliniczne dane rozszerzające wiedzę z wcześniejszych badań, szczególnie w obszarze współ-występowania badanej grupy następstw udaru oraz czynników wpływających na ich wystąpienie.

“…Other researchers [36][37][38] have also found that patients with right hemispheric lesions seem to display the poorest postural control. Abe et al [39] found significantly higher prevalence for pushing behavior, a disorder of the upright body orientation with respect to gravity [39,40], in patients with acute right hemispheric lesions as compared to left and thereby poorer postural control. We have only found two studies on hemispheric asymmetry related specifically to trunk control in stroke, and these demonstrated poorer postural stability in sitting in patients with right hemispheric lesions as compared to left [15,16].…”

“…1 Authors have used the Stroke Impairments Assessment Set as the only method to assess neglect. It is widely discussed that using several tests is a more reliable way to uncover evidence of neglect than a single test and the sensitivity of the Stroke Impairments Assessment Set for neglect could be questioned.…”

Prevalence and Length of Recovery of Pusher Syndrome Based on Cerebral Hemispheric Lesion Side in Patients With Acute Stroke

Abstract: The number of RCD patients who exhibited PB was higher than that of LCD patients. The duration of recovery from PB was longer in RCD patients than in LCD patients.
