      Measuring Lateropulsion and Pusher Behaviour in Adults after Stroke.

AB  - Purpose: The authors determined the reliability and validity of the Four-Point 
      Pusher Score (4PPS) among stroke survivors. Method: Stroke survivors were invited 
      to participate within 48 hours of admission to a stroke rehabilitation unit in a 
      tertiary hospital. Intrarater reliability was determined by examining scores 
      assigned to the same patient by the same physiotherapist. Interrater reliability 
      was determined by examining scores assigned to the same patient by two other 
      physiotherapists. Validity was determined by examining associations with the 
      Burke Lateropulsion Scale (BLS), Scale for Contraversive Pushing (SCP), and 
      functional scales. Results: A total of 85 participants who were a median of 13 
      (interquartile range 9-21) days post-stroke completed this study. The weighted kappa 
      statistic for 4PPS intra- and interrater reliability was 0.97 (p < 0.001). Scores 
      on the 4PPS were very strongly associated with scores on the BLS (r (s) = 0.95) 
      and the SCP (r (s) = 0.86). Strong associations were evident between the 4PPS and 
      the Berg Balance Scale (r (s) = -0.77), Chedoke-McMaster Stroke Assessment 
      postural control scale (r (s) = -0.76), and FIM Motor sub-scale (r (s) = -0.64; 
      all ps < 0.001). Conclusion: The 4PPS is a reliable and valid scale to assess 
      lateropulsion and pusher behaviour in stroke survivors in an in-patient 
      rehabilitation setting.
