Defizite in der sensomotorischen Integration bei Pusher-Symptomatik

Wer regelmäßig mit Patienten arbeitet, die Pusher-Symptomatik zeigen, weiß, wie kräftezehrend die Mobilisation bei Bewegungstherapie und Pflege nicht nur für den Patienten selbst, sondern auch für die Therapeuten und Pflegepersonen sein kann. Zuerst muss die Pusher-Symptomatik behandelt werden, bevor andere Ziele der sensomotorischen Rehabilitation, wie z. B. das Stehen und Gehen, anvisiert werden können. Der Artikel beschreibt die Hintergründe und die therapeutischen Ansätze, auch wenn es bisher keinen Goldstandard der Therapie gibt.
