Time to Recovery From Lateropulsion Dependent on Key Stroke Deficits: A Retrospective Analysis

Conclusions. Rate of recovery from lateropulsion after stroke is dependent on the side of lesion, and number of key motor, proprioceptive, and/or hemianopic or visual–spatial deficits. The more postural control systems affected, the slower the recovery. Our data identify patients likely to need protracted rehabilitation targeting key postural control deficits.
