Abstract
Despite the negative functional and financial implications of contraversive pushing (CoP) in the post-stroke population, little research has focused on improving this phenomenon more rapidly. A 58-year-old man was admitted to inpatient rehabilitation with a large frontoparietal intracerebral hemorrhage resulting in significant left hemiparesis and CoP. A standing frame protocol was implemented into standard care to improve CoP. The patient was assisted into a standing frame daily, and the Burke Lateropulsion Scale and Functional Independence Measure were tracked. Improvements in both outcome measures were greater than normative data.
