Clinical practice recommendations for management of lateropulsion after stroke determined by a Delphi expert panel.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

People exhibiting post-stroke lateropulsion actively push their body across the midline to the more affected side and/or resist weight shift toward the less affected side. Despite its prevalence and associated negative rehabilitation outcomes, no clinical practice guidelines exist for the rehabilitation of post-stroke lateropulsion. We aimed to develop consensus-based clinical practice recommendations for managing post-stroke lateropulsion using an international expert panel.

Design

This Delphi panel process conformed with Guidance on Conducting and Reporting Delphi Studies recommendations.

Participants

Panel members had demonstrated clinical and/or scientific background in the rehabilitation of people with post-stroke lateropulsion.
