This study was aimed to investigate the effects of neck extensor vibration stimulation on neglect and balance of stroke patients. Patients diagnosed with stroke were selected according to select the study target, 10 patients with experimental group with traditional occupational therapy and neck extensor vibration, and 10 patients with control group with traditional occupational therapy and neglect therapy for 30 minutes per each session 5 times a week for total 8 weeks. As a result of the study, comparison of two groups after the intervention showed that the experimental group had a more significant on the neglect and balance than the control group(p<.05). These result demonstrate that neck extensor vibration stimulation for the effective of neglect and balance in stroke patients, therefore is expected to be useful in rehabilitative therapy.
