Abstract

The purpose of this study was to find correlation between the Berg Balance Scale which is most commonly used and the equilibrium scores from Smart Balance Master System which is used for the test of the balance ability for the patients with chronic hemiparetic stroke to predict their falling risk though examining the postural control. Twenty-two subjects who had first stroke participated in this study. Participants were measured the Berg Balance Scale and the Smart Balance Master System. The study found that there was a significant correlation between the Berg Balance Scale and the equilibrium scores from Smart Balance Master System. And there was no significant correlation at all "eye-closed and sway of surfaces" in the 6 conditions of Smart Balance Master System and there was a significant correlation with over median in the other 5 conditions. The study was uncovered that there was no meaningful correlation between the Berg Balance Scale and "eye-closed and sway of surfaces" because chronic hemiparetic stroke patients heavily relied on their vision to maintain their balance ability and the Berg Balance Scale did not properly exam it. Thus to predict their falling risk in clinical practice for the patients with chronic hemiparetic stroke, it would be more efficient ways for us to consider all the effects of sensory organs with more than one clinical evaluation method.

본 논문은 뇌졸중 환자를 대상으로 그들의 균형능력을 평가하여 낙상의 위험을 예견하기 위하여 임상에서 가장 보편적으로 사용되고 있는 버그균형척도와 균형 및 평형능력을 평가하기 위하여 사용되는 Smart Balance Master System의 평형지수 사이의 상관관계를 알아보기 위함이었다. 22명의 만성 뇌졸중 환자가 본 연구에 참여하였다. 조용하고 잘 정돈된 치료실에서 대상자에게 버그균형척도와 Smart Balance Master System을 실시하였다. 연구결과 버그균형척도와 Smart Balance Master System의 평형지수는 중등도 이상의 유의한 상관관계를 보여주었다. 또한 Smart Balance Master System의 6가지 조건에서 모든 '눈 감고 지지면 동요 조건'에서 유의한 상관성이 없었으며, 다른 5가지 조건과는 중등도 이상의 유의한 상관성을 보여주었다. 뇌졸중 환자는 균형능력을 유지하기 위하여 시각에 대한 의존도가 높으며, 버그균형척도가 이런 부분을 적절히 평가하지 못하기 때문에 '눈 감고 지지면 동요 조건'과 유의한 상관성을 보여주지 못한 것으로 사료된다. 따라서 임상에서 뇌졸중 환자를 대상으로 그들의 낙상을 예견하기 위해서는 한 가지 이상의 임상 평가방법을 사용하여 감각기관의 모든 영향을 고려하는 것이 그들의 낙상 위험을 예견하는데 보다 적절하고 효율적인 방법으로 사료된다.
