Abstract

Rehabilitation dog-walking can be used to improve physical activity and restore QOL in stroke patients. This study investigated the effect of rehabilitation dog-walking on the QOL and physical activity of stroke patients. Twenty-four stroke patients were recruited for this study. Twenty-four stroke patients were randomized 1:1 into two groups. The evaluator measured stroke specific-quality of life (SS-QOL), six minute walk test, and maximal grip strength on the affected and non-affected side. The experimental group received gait training with a rehabilitation dog for 30 minutes once a week for 8 weeks. As a result of the study, there was a significant increase in SS-QOL, six minute walk test, and maximal grip strength on the affected side in the experimental group after the intervention. In addition, the experimental group showed significant improvement in SS-QOL, six minute walk test, and maximal grip strength on the affected side than the control group. Rehabilitation dog-walking may be an intervention method that can improve QOL and physical activity after stroke.

뇌졸중 환자는 신체활동 저하로 삶의 질이 저하 된다. 뇌졸중 환자에게 신체활동 증진과 삶의 질 회복에 재활견과 걷기가 사용될 수 있다. 본 연구는 재활견과 걷기가 뇌졸중 환자의 삶의 질과 신체활동에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 본 연구를 위해 24명의 뇌졸중 환자가 모집되었다. 24명의 뇌졸중 환자를 모집하여 두 그룹으로 1:1 무작위 배정하였다. 결과측정에는 삶의 질 평가, 6분 보행, 악력평가를 수행하였다. 연구군은 주 1회, 8주 동안 재활견과 함께 걷기를 하였다. 연구 결과 연구군은 중재 후 뇌졸중 삶의 질, 6분 보행, 마비측 악력에 유의한 증가가 있었다. 더하여 연구군은 대조군보다 삶의 질, 6분 보행, 마비측 악력에 유의한 개선을 보였다. 재활견과 걷기는 뇌졸중 후 삶의 질과 신체활동을 개선할 수 있는 하나의 좋은 중재 방법이 될 수 있다.
