Abstract

Purpose: 본 연구는 단하지 보조기를 사용하는 뇌졸중환자의 시-거리 보행변수에 대한 청각신호 효과에 대한 알아보고자 하는 것이다. Methods: 9명의 뇌졸중환자가 본 연구에 참여하였으며 대상자는 보조기 착용이 없는 경우, 기존 보조기 착용의 경우 그리고 청각신호 보조기 착용의 경우에 각각 시-거리 보행 변수에 대해 측정하였다. 8대의 동작분석 카메라 시스템(Motion Analysis Corporation, Santa Rosa, USA)을 사용하여 시-거리 보행 변수를 측정하였으며 Wilcoxon rank sum test을 이용하여 양하지의 대칭성을 분석하였고 Friedman test를 사용하여 다른 보조기 사용에 따른 효과를 알아보았다. Results: 청각 신호 보조기의 경우, 손상측과 비손상측의 보행속도, 활보장 그리고 분속수가 대칭적으로 되었다. 손상측의 경우, 단하지 보조기를 착용하였을 때가 착용하지 않았을 때보다 대체적으로 보행 변수들이 증가하였다. 청각 신호 단하지 보조기를 착용하였을 때 손상측 하지의 보행 속도, 활보장, 보장, 양하지 지지 시간이 증가하였고 단하지 지지 시간은 감소하였다. Conclusion: 청각 신호 단하지 보조기 착용 시 보행 속도, 활보장, 보장은 보조기를 착용하지 않았을 때보다는 증가하였으나 청각 신호 단하지 보조기와 기존 단하지 보조기 착용 사이에는 차이가 없었다. 하지만, 본 연구의 결과는 청각 신호 단하지 보조기가 뇌졸중 환자의 시-거리 보행 변수를 개선할 수 있음을 보여주었고 앞으로 다양한 보행 변수들에 대한 연구가 필요하다고 생각한다.
