  • Wondering where to start?
  • Not sure what to do next?
  • Patients aren't getting better?
  • Unsure how to document progress?
  • Beginning to doubt your skills?

Treating patiens with Pusher Syndrome can be scary, frustrating, and physically demanding – but it doesn't have to be.

Created by one of the most trusted names in stroke rehabilitation, How to Successfully Treat Stroke Patients with Pusher Syndrome will teach you safe, effective strategies for progressing patients you might have given up on in the past.

And the results are incredible. Clinicians have seen countless patients – from sedentary retirees to fit and active baby boomers – return to their bucket lists, rediscover the joys of living independently, and resume playing with their grandkids, using the interventions you'll learn in this program.

Join Dr. Michelle Green for this live webcast as she shares a proven framework for rehabilitation that combines today's best practices with over 20 years of experience guiding patients with Pusher Syndrome to recovery.

If you're chasing symptoms without getting to the "why" of your patient's impairment, you're losing time, money, and referrals. This course is your path to delivering results for your patients.

Sign up today, make yourself the go-to resource for pushers in your facility, and feel the satisfaction of giving patients back the independence they lost and activities they love.

Objectives

  1. Analyze current literature regarding suggested pathology of “pusher syndrome”
  2. Determine common characteristics and functional presentation of a patient who “pushes”
  3. Develop a skill set for understanding normal movement as well as executing task analysis for assessments of impairments limitations
  4. Analyze the criteria critical in categorizing the “pusher” patient as a low, mid, or high-level “pusher”
  5. Determine appropriate treatment interventions for the low, mid, and high-level “pusher” patient to specifically improve noted activity limitations
  6. Practice supporting and positioning techniques that enhance safely for the clinician and patient
  7. Demonstrate progressions of interventions to reduce impairments and lessen activity limitations to maximize participation for each patient with “pusher syndrome”
