Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of virtual reality training on upper extremity function and activities of daily living in patients with sub-acute stroke. The present study enrolled 18 patients with sub-acute stroke. All subjects were assigned into either the experimental group (n=9) or control group (n=9). Both groups received conventional occupational therapy for 30 minutes/day, 5 times a week, for 4 weeks. Additionally, the experimental group performed virtual reality training in each session for 30 minutes/day, and the control group conducted conventional occupational therapy in each session for 30 minutes/day. The outcome measures were performed through the Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA) and the Korean-modified Barthel Index (K-MBI) before and after intervention. In results, the experimental group showed significant improvements in the scores of FMA and K-MBI after intervention (p<.05). The control group showed significant improvements in the shoulder/elbow/forearm, wrist, and hand sub-domains of the FMA and K-MBI (p<.05). After intervention, the experimental group showed significantly greater improvements in the total score and in the wrist and hand sub-domains of the FMA than control group (p<.05). These findings suggest that virtual reality training may have positive effects on the improvements of upper extremity function in patients with sub-acute stroke.
