본 연구는 뇌졸중 환자에게 엔터테인먼트요소가 가미된 가상현실과 시각적 되먹임 보행 훈련 프로그램을 병행하여 보행능력과 삶의 질을 향상시키고자 하였다. 이에 휘돌림 보행을 하는 뇌졸중 환자 10명을 선정하여, 가상현실과 힘판을 통한 시각적 되먹임 트레드밀보행훈련을 일일 30분씩, 주5회, 5주간 총 25회 실시하였다. 이러한 보행훈련의 효과를 알아보기 위해 관절가동범위검사, 근활성도 검사, 버그 균형 척도(BBS), 보행분석, 삶의 질(SS-QOL) 평가를 중재 전·후 시행하였다. 본 연구결과, 보행 흔듦기 시기에 마비측 관절가동범위와 근활성도, 동적균형능력, 보행능력, 삶의 질이 중재 후 통계학적으로 유의하게 차이가 있었다(p<0.05). 본 연구결과를 통해 본 연구의 보행훈련이 휘돌림 보행을 하는 뇌졸중 환자의 발처짐, 근활성도, 동적 균형 및 보행능력을 향상시키고, 이로 인한 삶의 질도 개선하는 것을 알 수 있었다. 따라서 휘돌림 보행을 하는 뇌졸중 환자의 보행능력 향상과 삶의 질 개선을 통한 라이프케어증진을 위해 가상현실과 힘판을 통한 시각적 되먹임 트레드밀보행훈련 프로그램 적용을 권장한다.

Purpose: This study compares the effects of treadmill gait training accompanied by visual feedback and general treadmill gait training on the gait and balance ability of patients with chronic stroke. Methods: A total of 11 patients with chronic stroke were randomly divided into either the treadmill gait training accompanied by visual feedback group (six patients) or the general treadmill gait training group (five patients). The gait and balance ability of the two groups were measured before and after the interventions using the functional reach test, the Timed Up and Go (TUG) test, Berg's balance test, and the Biodex balance test. The treadmill gait training accompanied by visual feedback group performed the exercise under the supervision of a therapist after first being provided with a hat and a goal that was devised for the purpose of providing visual feedback information. The interventions were applied to the respective groups for four weeks. For the statistical analysis, we conducted a Mann-Whitney test to compare the results between the two groups. Additionally, the Wilcoxon test was used to compare the results from before and after the intervention in each group. Results: The treadmill gait training accompanied by visual feedback group showed a significant difference in terms of the functional reach test after the intervention when compared to the general treadmill gait training group (p<0.05). Although there was no significant difference, the treadmill gait training accompanied by visual feedback group showed a larger improvement in the TUG test, Berg's balance test, and the Biodex balance test than the general treadmill gait training group (p>0.05). Conclusion: The results of this study suggest that treadmill gait training accompanied by visual feedback can be used as a beneficial intervention scheme for the recovery of the gait and balance ability of patients with chronic stroke.
