Abstract

The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of gait training using rhythmic auditory stimulation on gait symmetry of stroke patients. Forty chronic stroke patients were divided into four groups by intervention. Group A and B received auditory stimulation when they walk with comfortable gait speed. Group A received auditory stimulation to paralyzed side while group B to non-paralyzed side. Group C and D received auditory stimulation with 10% faster gait speed than their comfortable gait speed. Group C received auditory stimulation to paralyzed side while group D to non-paralyzed side. Gait training using auditory stimulation was done in each group during five minutes. Gait symmetry was evaluated by formula and temporal variables of gait were measured by gait analysis system. Step time was decreased significantly in all groups except group A (P<.05), and gait symmetry was also improved significantly in all groups except group A (P<.05). Cadence was increased significantly in all groups except group A (p<.05), but velocity was not increased in all groups. Therefore we conclude that RAS gait training is effective in improving gait symmetry and can be useful to stroke patient's gait training.

본 연구는 리듬청각자극을 이용한 보행훈련이 뇌졸중 환자의 보행의 대칭성에 미치는 효과를 알아보고자 하였다. 6개월이 지난 만성 뇌졸중환자 40명을 대상으로 중재 방법에 따라 4군으로 나누었다. A군은 편안한속도로 마비측에 청각자극을 주고 B군은 편안한속도로 비마비측에 청각자극을 주고 C군은 10%증가된 속도로 마비측에 청각자극을 주고 D군은 10%증가시킨 속도로 비마비측에 청각자극을 주었다. 각 군의 환자에게 5분동안 청각자극을 주며 보행훈련을 시행하였다. 보행분석 시스템을 이용하여 보행의 시간적인 변수를 측정하였으며 계산공식을 이용하여 보행의 대칭성을 구하였다. 보시간은 A군을 제외한 모든 군에서 유의하게 감소하였고(p<.05), 보행대칭성도 A군을 제외한 모든 군에서 유의하게 개선되었다(p<.05). 분속수는 A군을 제외한 모든 군에서 유의하게 증가하였고(p<.05), 속도는 모든 군에서 증가하지 않았다. 이 결과를 통해 리듬청각자극이 보행의 대칭성을 개선하는데 효과적임을 확인하였으며 뇌졸중 환자의 보행훈련에 효과적인 방법으로 적용할 수 있으리라 생각한다.
