Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the immediate effect of lumbar support and ischial pad on neck, trunk angle and chest expansion for stroke patients using wheelchair. Fifteen stroke patients were measured repeatedly when a lumbar support using(L support), a Ischial pad using(I Pad), a Lumbar support with ischial pad using(L With I), and non using it(Non using). The measurement of the neck and trunk angle was confirmed using a mobile phone camera, and chest expansion was performed using a tapeline. L With I increased significantly in neck and trunk angle and lower chest expansion than non using. This study shows that simultaneous use of lumbar support and ischial pad for stroke patients using wheelchair can increase the neck and trunk angle, chest expansion immediately. Future studies will need to identify more long-term changes by continuing intervention with more subjects.

본 연구의 목적은 휠체어를 사용하는 뇌졸중 환자에게 허리 지지대와 궁둥 패드가 목, 몸통 각도와 가슴우리 확장에 미치는 영향을 즉각적으로 알아보고자 함이다. 15명의 뇌졸중 환자는 허리 지지대 사용, 궁둥 패드 사용, 허리 지지대와 궁둥 패드 동시 사용, 사용하지 않았을 때를 반복적으로 측정하였다. 측정은 휴대폰 카메라를 이용하여 목과 몸통 각도를 측정하였고, 가슴우리 확장은 줄자를 이용하였다. 연구 결과 허리 지지대와 궁둥 패드 동시 사용이 사용하지 않았을 때 보다 목, 몸통 각도, 아래쪽 가슴우리 확장에 유의하게 증가하였다. 본 연구를 통해 휠체어를 사용하는 뇌졸중 환자에게 허리 지지대와 궁둥 패드 동시 사용이 뇌졸중 환자의 가슴우리 확장과 목, 몸통 각도 증가에 즉각적인 영향을 미친다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 향후 연구에는 더 많은 대상자와 중재를 지속시켜 장기간의 변화를 확인할 필요가 있겠다.
