Abstract：Objective To observe the effect of healthy side tilt training on balance function in patients with Pusher syndrome(PS)af-ter stroke.
Methods From February,2021 to November,2023,40 patients with PS after stroke in People's Hospital of Bayingolin Mongolian Autonomous Prefecture were selected.They were divided into control group(n=20)and experimen-tal group(n=20)in accordance with the order of the patients'admission.The control group received comprehen-sive training for paralyzed limbs combined with sitting balance training,and the experimental group received comprehensive training for paralyzed limbs combined with healthy side tilt training,for three weeks.They were assessed with Burke Lateropulsion Scale(BLS),Fugl-Meyer Assessment-Balance(FMA-B)and modified Barth-el Index(MBI)before and after treatment.
Results After treatment,BLS score significantly decreased in both groups(t>12.603,P<0.001),and was lower in the experimental group than in the control group(t=-2.559,P<0.05).The scores of FMA-B and MBI were signifi-cantly increased in both groups(|Z|>3.941,|t|>12.082,P<0.001),and FMA-B score was higher in experimen-tal group than in the control group(Z=-2.538,P<0.05).
Conclusion Comprehensive training for paralyzed limbs combined with healthy side tilt training can effectively improve the balance function and postural control of patients with PS after stroke,and improve the activities of daily liv-ing.
