NTSB Report Question

The excerpt from the NTSB Report posted above briefly mentions that the stick pusher is an integral part of the aircraft's stall warning system, but all subsequent references to the control column being pulled aft say that action occurred at "stick shaker."

Are we supposed to interpret the NTSB's use of the term "stick shaker" to also mean "stick pusher?" Why don't they make a distinction between the two . . . unless - perhaps - the pull happened at "stick shaker" and NOT at "stick pusher?" I believe that is an important distinction.
