Abstract

This study was performed to investigate the impact of the Neurocognitive Rehabilitation Therapy on the upper limb function recovery of patients with stroke and their abilities to perform daily activities and to provide basic data for a long-term treatment. A total of 30 patients with hemiplegia that occurred due to stroke were recruited as subjects of the present study, and 15 patients were randomly assigned to a Neurocognitive Rehabilitation Therapy group and a conventional treatment group, respectively. And, tests were performed over four weeks, five times a week, and 30 minutes a session. Manual Function Test(MFT), Fugl-Meyer Assessment Scale(FMA), and Korean-Modified Bathel Index(K-MBI) were used to measure the degree of the functional recovery before and after the experiment. According to the data of this study, in the upper limb function test, the Neurocognitive Rehabilitation Therapy group showed significant increase of the measurement values of MFT and FMA(p <.05), and when the difference between the two groups were compared, the upper limb function showed a statistically significant difference. In the daily activity performance test, only the Neurocognitive Rehabilitation Therapy group showed a significant improvement of K-MBI value(p <.05). Based on the results of the present study, it was demonstrated that the Neurocognitive Rehabilitation Therapy was effective in enhancing the upper limb functions and daily activity performance of patients with stroke.

본 연구는 신경인지재활치료가 뇌졸중 환자의 상지기능 회복과 일상생활동작 수행능력에 미치는 효과를 알아보고 장기적인 치료를 위한 기초자료를 제시하고자 한다. 연구대상은 뇌졸중으로 인한 편마비 환자 총 30명을 대상으로 신경인지재활치료군과 전통적인 작업치료군을 각각 15명씩 무작위로 선정하였으며, 실험은 1회 30분, 주 5회, 4주 동안 적용하였다. 대상자의 실험 전과 후의 기능회복 정도는 뇌졸중 상지기능검사(Manual Function Test; MFT)와 Fugl-Meyer Assessment Scale(FMA), 한국판 수정바델지수(Korean-Modified Bathel Index; K-MBI) 점수를 활용하였다. 연구 결과 신경인지재활치료군이 상지기능검사에서 MFT와 FMA 측정값이 유의하게 증가하였으며(p<.05), 두 군 간의 차이를 비교한 결과 상지기능이 통계학적으로 유의한 차이를 보였다. 일상생활동작 검사에서는 신경인지재활치료군에서만 K-MBI 값이 유의하게 향상되었다(p <.05). 연구결과를 통하여 신경인지재활치료가 뇌졸중 환자의 상지 기능과 일상생활동작 수행능력향상에 효과적임을 알 수 있었다.
