What should be avoided during treatment of a patient with Pusher Syndrome?

In the context of Pusher Syndrome, the focus on treatment is to encourage the patient to actively engage in self-correction rather than relying on passive interventions. Passive correction of the patient's posture might undermine their ability to recognize and correct their own orientation in space. Pusher Syndrome is characterized by a tendency to lean towards the affected side, so it is crucial that rehabilitation strategies empower the patient to understand their body position and actively work towards correcting any imbalances.

Providing the patient with opportunities to self-correct through guided rehabilitation helps to enhance proprioceptive awareness and ultimately promotes independence. In contrast to this approach, using passive methods might not only delay recovery but also foster dependency on practitioners for adjusting posture, which is counterproductive to the rehabilitation goals. Thus, avoiding passive correction strategies aligns with the overall aim of promoting active participation in the rehabilitation process.
