Article Synopsis
- This study examines how patients with hemiplegia and those with pusher syndrome (who also have unilateral spatial neglect) process their postural vertical using the Romberg test, focusing on the differences in sensory integration with their eyes open or closed.
- It analyzed a total of 136 patients, finding that both groups showed moderate to severe issues with their integrated subjective postural vertical, but no significant demographic differences or ISPV disparities between them.
- The research highlights that the pusher behavior is linked to specific sensory integration problems, providing deeper understanding of the unique pathophysiology in patients with pusher syndrome and USN.
Objective: To investigate the recovery processes of pusher behavior (PB) and unilateral spatial neglect (USN) based on the severity of PB and USN, and to determine the relationship between activities of daily living (ADL) independence levels.
Design: This retrospective study aimed to examine the temporal changes and their association with ADL independence levels based on the severity of PB and USN.
Setting: Recovery ward of Moriyama Neurological Center Hospital between March 2017 and October 2022.
Background Visual-motor illusion (VMI) is a cognitive approach used to evoke kinesthetic sensations. Research suggests that VMI can modulate brain activity depending on the specific joint movement observed. This study aimed to identify differences in brain activity when observing video images of joint movements at different intensities of movement in VMI.

Design: Double-blind randomized controlled trial.
Setting: Acute phase hospital where stroke patients are hospitalized.
We examined effects of a visual search task (VST) in virtual reality (VR) with a moving background on spatial cognition and standing balance in left hemiparetic strokes. The VST with background deviation was allocated to Case A. In Case B, the VST without the deviation was performed.
