Preliminary study validates Grading of Lateropulsion and its relation to walking and balance in stroke patients, suggesting its clinical relevance.
Objectives: Body lateropulsion (BL) is a postural orientation disorder after stroke, characterized by an involuntary tilt of the body to one side. We aimed to evaluate the validity of the Grading of Lateropulsion (GoL)—a measure of BL severity—by examining its associations with balance, ataxia, and walking ability in patients with infratentorial stroke. We also assessed the distribution characteristics of GoL scores.
