This study purposes to conduct visual feedback and body posture control training on stroke patients with pusher syndrome in order to reduce their pusher syndrome. This study also examines changes resulting from the training and applies the guidelines necessary for documentation of patient/customer management. The participant for this study was one patient with pusher syndrome. The study progressed from a medical examination of the subject followed by evaluation, diagnosis, prognosis, intervention and treatment plan, and finally re-examination in order of precedence. Problems in the participant’s functional activities, difficulties in changes from sitting postures into standing postures, and maintaining standing postures were determined as primary restrictions on activities and the improvement of these activities was set up as a goal through discussions with the patient. Interventions were mainly implemented to reduce the pusher syndrome with visual feedback provided using mirrors and exercises focusing on leaning in order to maintain posture while sitting. Changes from supine postures to sitting postures and the degree of changes in maintaining standing postures were compared between before and after the intervention by measuring times in the same environment and the degree of pusher syndrome was measured using the SCP tool. The process of this clinical practice was documented. The SCP score that indicates the degree of changes in the participant’s pusher syndrome changed from 3.75 points to 0.8 point indicating a decrease in pushing. Among functional activities, posture changes from sitting postures to standing postures and maintaining standing postures were improved. In addition, since the patient could maintain standing postures, the patient could walk indoors. In this case study, mirrors and body posture control training used as interventions to relieve pusher syndromes can be easily applied in clinics to examine the form of functional recovery. The results indicated that these intervention methods were effective and thus it is thought that the results can be used as basic data to utilize these intervention methods diversely. In addition, the documentation of patient/client management was applied as actual documentation in Korean and based on the results, we could show decision making processes for patients’functional goals and objectively explain problems, prognoses and changes made through the interventions.

소개
임상전기생리학회는 광선, 열 등의 물리적 동인을 이용한 이학적 치료를 포함한 전기치료학 및 전기생리진단학의 학술적 발전을 도모하기 위하여 기초 및 임상연구를 통한 학술정보의 지원과 교육을 목표로 하고 있다.
임상전기생리학은 통증조절, 운동조절, 조직치유 및 재생, 경피약물수송 등 임상치료학 분야와 신경근골격계 병변에 대한 진단 및 평가를 목적으로 하는 임상진단학 분야로 구성된 물리치료학의 전문분야 중의 하나이다.
(목적)
임상전기생리학에 관한 종합적인 정보의 제공과 이에 대한 연구와 임상 중심의 임상전기생리학적 물리치료의 이론과 방법에 대한 교육을 지원하고 과학적 검증을 통하여 물리치료학의 발전에 기여한다.
