This article reviews the evidence for cortical involvement in shaping postural responses
evoked by external postural perturbations. Although responses to postural perturbations …

We inherently maintain a stable perception of the world despite frequent changes in the
head, eye, and body positions. Such “orientation constancy” is a prerequisite for coherent …

It has long been known that the vast majority of all information en route to the cerebral cortex
must first pass through the thalamus. The long held view that the thalamus serves as a …

Disturbances of body orientation perception after brain lesions may specifically relate to only
one dimension of space. Stroke patients with “pusher syndrome” suffer from a severe …

Some stroke patients with hemiparesis exhibit a so-called pusher behaviour, ie, they actively
push away from the unaffected side and lean towards the hemiparetic side. This impairs …

Brain damage may induce a dysfunction of upright body position termed “pusher syndrome”.
Patients with such disorder suffer from an alteration of their sense of body verticality. They …

Unilateral stroke can lead to a disorder of postural balance that manifests as a pushing away
toward the contralesional side. It is called “pusher syndrome”(PS). The aims of this study …

The presence of both isolated thalamic and isolated cortical lesions have been reported in
the context of pusher syndrome—a disorder characterized by a disturbed perception of one's …

Background Effective control of (upright) body posture requires a proper representation of
body orientation. Stroke patients with pusher syndrome were shown to suffer from severely …

Background and Purpose—Hemispheric stroke studies associating lateropulsion (pusher
syndrome) with the location of brain lesions have had mixed results from small, unmatched …
