Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation Improves Pusher Phenomenon

An 83-year-old man suffered from cerebral infarction of the right middle cerebral artery territory. In association with severe left hemiparesis and hemispatial neglect on the left side, he showed severe pusher phenomenon (PP), which made rehabilitation difficult. Transcranial direct current stimulat...

description An 83-year-old man suffered from cerebral infarction of the right middle cerebral artery territory. In association with severe left hemiparesis and hemispatial neglect on the left side, he showed severe pusher phenomenon (PP), which made rehabilitation difficult. Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) was applied to the parietal area (2 mA × 20 min/day; anode on the right and cathode on the left) for 8 days, which resulted in remarkable improvement of PP and caused prolongation of static sitting time. tDCS of the parietal area could be a novel treatment option of PP following stroke.
