Inpatient Rehabilitation Treatments and Effect on Pushing Behaviors in Individuals Post-stroke

Some individuals demonstrate pushing behaviors after having a stroke. The purpose of this
study is to see if there are immediate changes in pushing behaviors in individuals who have
had a stroke before and after sitting in a wheelchair, walking on the treadmill, and walking
overground.

The investigators do not think there will be a change with sitting in the wheelchair, but
the investigators think there may be an improvement in pushing behaviors after walking
training.

The study population of interest is primarily individuals in inpatient rehabilitation.

Inclusion Criteria:

- score >0 in each subsection of the Scale for Contraversive Pushing

- admitted to the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago inpatient rehabilitation setting

- stroke within previous 180 days

- consent to participate in the study

- ambulating greater than 150' at a time prior to stroke

Exclusion Criteria:

- other neurologic diagnoses

- weight bearing precautions, orthopedic injuries, or other medical co-morbidities that
prevent adherence to the study protocol
