  • Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of bilateral visual feedback training with visual targets on the postural balance and fall efficacy of stroke patients with hemiparesis. Methods: A total of 24 stroke patients with hemiparesis were randomly assigned to either a bilateral visual feedback training (BVFT, n=8) group, unilateral visual feedback training (UVFT, n=8) group, or a control group (n=8). The BVFT and UVFT groups performed weight-bearing training on the bilateral (less-affected and affected side) or unilateral side (affected side) with visual feedback using visual targets. The control group performed squat training without visual feedback using visual targets. The training program was conducted in the form of 3 sets a day, 3 times a week, for 4 weeks. The participants were evaluated using the Berg balance scale (BBS), lateral reaching test (LRT), timed up and go test (TUG), and the activities-specific balance confidence scale (ABC). Results: In the intra-group comparison after the intervention, the BVFT group showed a significant difference in the BBS, TUG, affected and less-affected side LRT, and ABC (p<0.05). The UVFT group showed a significant difference in the BBS and ABC (p<0.05). In the inter-group comparison after the intervention, the BVFT group showed significant improvements in their BBS, affected side LRT, and TUG, when compared to the control group (p<0.05). Conclusion: These findings show that bilateral visual feedback training with visual targets during bilateral weight-bearing exercises can improve the postural balance function in stroke patients.

  • This study aimed to pilot test a newly developed bilateral upper limb rehabilitation training program for improving the upper limb function of individuals with chronic stroke using a visual feedback method. The double-group pretest-posttest design pilot study included 10 individuals with chronic stroke (age >50 years). The intervention (four weekly meetings) consisted of five upper limb training protocols (wrist extension; forearm supination and pronation; elbow extension and shoulder flexion; weight-bearing shift; and shoulder, elbow, and wrist complex movements). Upper limb movement function recovery was assessed with the FuglMeyer Assessment of the Upper Extremity, the Wolf Motor Function Test, the Trunk Control Test, the modified Ashworth Scale, and the visual analog scale at baseline, immediately after, and four weeks after the intervention. The Fatigue Severity Scale was also employed. The Fugl-Meyer Assessment of the Upper Extremity and Wolf Motor Function Test showed significant improvement in upper limb motor function. The Trunk Control Test results increased slightly, and the modified Ashworth Scale decreased slightly, without statistical significance. The visual analog scale scores showed a significant decrease and the Fatigue Severity Scale scores were moderate or low. The bilateral upper limb training program using the visual feedback method could result in slight upper limb function improvements in individuals with chronic stroke.

  • 목적 : 본 연구의 목적은 뇌졸중 환자에게 일상생활활동 향상을 위해 중재를 시행한 국내 단일대상연구문헌의 특성과 질적 수준을 확인하는 것이다. 연구방법 : 학술연구정보서비스(Research Information Sharing Service), 누리미디어(DBpia), 학술교육원(e-article)의 원문제공 서비스를 통해 2009년부터 2023년까지 최근 15년간 발간된 논문 중 '뇌졸중', '일상생활활동', '단일대상연구'를 주요 키워드로 검색하였다. 총 9편의 논문을 대상으로 분석 대상 논문의 특징과 질적 수준을 알아보았다. 결과 : 9편의 분석 대상 논문 중 작업치료 분야 학회지에 실린 논문이 6편이었고, 분석 논문에서 적용한 연구 설계는 ABA 설계가 3편으로 가장 많았다. 대상자들의 성별은 남성과 여성이 각각 10명씩이었고, 대상자 수가 3명인 논문이 5편으로 가장 많았다. 연구 대상자들의 연령은 60대가 6명으로 가장 많았다. 일상생활활동 향상을 위해 적용한 독립변인은 강제유도운동치료, 상상연습, 시각되먹임을 차단한 자세 수직훈련, 양측성 상지운동, 가상현실을 이용한 과제훈련, 신경인지재활치료와 전통적인 작업치료, 체간 안정화 훈련, 완곡추적 안구운동과 경부신전근 진동자극법, 작업기반 지역사회 재활 각각 1편씩으로 다양한 중재들을 적용하고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 종속변인을 측정한 평가도구는 Assessment of Motor and Process Skills이 4편으로 가장 많았고, Modified Barthel Index와 Canadian Occupational Performace Measure가 각각 2편이었다. 분석 논문의 질적 수준을 평가한 결과 총 9편 중 높은 수준의 연구가 7편이었고, 중간 수준의 연구는 2편이었으며, 낮은 수준의 연구는 단 1편도 없었다. 결론 : 뇌졸중 환자의 일상생활활동 향상을 위한 중재법으로 여러 유형의 재활치료가 활발히 적용되고 있으며, 일상생활활동 중재를 적용한 단일대상연구들의 질적 수준은 신뢰할 수준인 것을 확인할 수 있었다.
