This study is to compare and analyze the bioelectrical impedance values on the upper extremity (affected and non-affected side) in hemiplegic stroke patients. Experimental subjects were 24 stroke patients with hemiplegia undergoing stroke rehabilitation between October to November, 2015. Prediction marker, resistance, reactance, and phase angle were measured in the upper extremity (affected and non-affected side) of hemiplegic stroke patients, using MultiScan 5000, and then they were expressed as quantified values. The affected and non-affected side of upper extremity in stroke patients with hemiplegia exhibited significant differences in prediction marker, reactance, and phase angle (p<0.05). There were significant differences in the impedance values at the affected and non-affected side of hemiplegic stroke patients. Thus, the possibility of evaluating stroke patients undergoing clinical rehabilitation therapy was suggested.
