Figure 1

Pusher patient with right hemisphere stroke and left-sided hemiparesis during three tilt positions within one experimental body tilt cycle (open eyes condition). One can easily see that the patient with pusher syndrome exhibits a constant ipsiversive tilt (with respect to trunk orientation) of his non-paretic leg when sitting upright. This inclined leg position was kept throughout the whole tilt cycle. The read lines represent the longitudinal axes of the respective body segments. (The patient does not show pushing behaviour on this series of photos because he was required to hold his arms in his lap and was not able to touch the floor with his feet.)
