Abstract

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of neuromuscular re-eduction program and traditional intervention program. Methods: It is focused on difference between changes of experimental before and after on 30 stroke patient's physical composition, body water and functional independence. Results: The obtained results are as follows ; 1. In the comparison of change in physical composition between the experimental group and control group, the between-subjects factors were not a significant difference. 2. In the comparison of change in body water between the experimental group and control group, the between-subjects factors were not a significant difference. 3. In the comparison of change in functional independence between the experimental group and control group, the between-subjects factors were a significant difference in 8 items and total FIM (p<0.01; p<0.05) but, were not a significant difference in 11 items. Conclusion: the neuromuscular re-eduction program was more effect then traditional intervention program in functional independence but, was not a significant difference in body composition and body water.
