양측성 근 전기자극 기법을 통한 만성 뇌졸중 환자의 상지운동기능 회복

초록

The aim of this study is to identify the relative effectiveness of upper limb functional recovery among two experimental groups(unilateral NMES treatment group, Bilateral NMES treatment group) and control group. 25 stroke patients were randomly assigned to 10 bilateral NMES treatment group, 10 unilateral NMES group, 5 control group. All group had pre-test. Two experimal groups received 4 weeks total 12 sessions training protocol treatment accordingly. After training session, they had post-test. The results showed that two experimental group exhibited higher performance score than control group for number of BB moved, slope, RMSE, impulse of sustained wrist extension respectively. Further, the results confirmed that bilateral NMES training protocol is superior training method comparing with unilateral NMES training protocol for upper limb motor functional recovery of chronic stroke patients.
