Background. Spasticity, contractures, pusher syndrome, unilateral neglect and heterotopic ossifications are one of the most commonly observed effects in patients after stroke. There is still a need for research on predictors and early identification of such changes in order to minimize their incidence and negative influence to the recovery process.
Objective. To evaluate the incidence and relationship between the selected complications of stroke spasticity, contractures, pusher syndrome, unilateral neglect and heterotopic ossifications.
Results. Among the 141 patients involved in the study, the results were as follows: spasticity was observed in 35.46%, contracture in 42.55%, pusher syndrome in 8.51%, hemispatial neglect in 4.26% and heterotopic ossifications were observed in 5.67%.
Conclusions. Our findings confirm presented relatively new and important basic and clinical information extending existing studies, especially co-occurrence of selected stroke results and factors influencing their incidence.References
