Abstract

Objective : This study aimed to investigate the effect of simultaneous application of peripheral nerve sensory stimulation and task-oriented training on the improvement of upper extremity motor function after stroke. Methods : This study included 29 patients with hemiplegia. The 14 subjects were in the peripheral nerve sensory stimulation and task-oriented training group for 4 weeks (30 min/d, 5 d/wk), while the 15 control group subjects underwent only task-oriented training for the same duration. The outcome measures were the percentage of voluntary baseline muscle contractions of the wrist and shoulder and Box and Block Test, grip and pinch strength, and Action Research Arm Test. Results : After 4 weeks, muscle activity of extensor carpi radialis, flexor carpi radialis and grip strength and Action Research Arm Test were significantly higher in the experimental group. Conclusion : Simultaneous application of the peripheral nerve sensory stimulation and task-oriented training was found to be superior to task-oriented training for improving upper extremity motor function of adults with stroke.

목적 : 본 연구는 뇌졸중 환자들의 상지기능 개선을 위해 말초신경감각자극과 과제지향적 훈련의 동시적용하여 효과를 알아보는 것이다. 연구방법 : 본 연구는 29명의 편마비 환자를 대상으로 수행하였다. 말초신경감각자극과 과제지향적 훈련을 동시에 적용한 실험군은 14명, 과제지향적 훈련만 실시한 대조군은 15명으로 주5회, 회기당 30분씩, 총 4주간 진행하였다. 결과측정은 손목과 어깨근육의 자발적 근수축 비율과 상자와 나무토막 검사, 잡기와 쥐기의 근력, Action Research Arm Test를 사용하여 중재 전·후로 측정하였다. 결과 : 4주간의 중재 후 짧은노쪽손목폄근, 노쪽손목굽힘근의 근 활성도와 잡기 근력, Action Research Arm Test에서 실험군은 대조군 보다 유의한 개선을 나타냈다. 결론 : 말초신경감각자극과 과제지향적 훈련의 동시적용은 과제지향적훈련만 하는 것보다 뇌졸중 환자의 상지기능 개선에 보다 효과적이었다.
