Abstract

The purpose of this study is to compare kinesio tapping with transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation to single intervention in chronic stroke patients. 29 stroke patients were divided into taping group (n = 10), transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation group (n = 10), and taping with transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation group (combined group n = 9). The intervention period was 5 times (30min) per week for 4 weeks. Timed Up & Go (TUG) and Berg Balance Scale (BBS) were used for balance evaluation. Functional Gait Assessment (FGA) and 10-meter walk test were used for gait evaluation. The quality of life evaluation was performed using the EuroQol-5 dimension (EQ-5D). There were significant improvements in TUG, BBS, FGA, 10-meter walk test, and EQ-5D in all three groups (p <.05). In the comparison of the intervention effects between the three groups, the combined group showed a significant increase in FGA compared to the other two groups. This study showed that taping with transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation is more effective for FGA than single methods. However, there was no difference between the three groups except for FGA. Therefore, more subjects and intervention period will be needed in future studies.

본 연구는 만성 뇌졸중 환자에게 키네시오테이핑과 경피신경전기자극을 결합 적용하여 단일방법과 비교하기 위함이다. 본 연구는 뇌졸중환자 29명을 대상으로 테이핑군(10명), 경피신경전기자극군(10명), 테이핑과 경피신경전기자극 결합한 결합군(9명)으로 나누었다. 중재기간은 4주간 주 5회, 30분씩 실시하였다. 평가에는 Timed Up & Go(TUG)와 Berg balance Scale(BBS)를 이용하여 균형평가를 실시하였고 보행 평가는 Functional Gait Assessment(FGA)와 10-metre walk test를 이용하였다. 삶의 질 평가는 EuroQol-5 dimension (EQ-5D)를 이용하였다. 연구결과 세 군 모두에서 TUG, BBS, FGA, 10 meter walk test, EQ-5D에 유의한 개선이 나타났다(p<.05). 세 군간 중재효과 비교에서 결합군이 나머지 두 군보다 FGA에 유의한 증가를 보였다. 본 연구를 통해 경피신경전기자극과 테이핑 결합이 단일적용 보다 FGA에 더욱 효과적인 것을 알 수 있었다. 하지만 FGA를 제외하고 다른 변수간에 차이가 없었으므로 앞으로의 연구에서는 더 많은 대상자 수와 중재기간이 필요할 것으로 사료된다.
