Objective: The purpose of this study was a comparison of effects on repetitive singular exercise using RECK MOTOmed viva2 and task oriented exercise on upper extremity function in patients with stroke.
Methods: The subject were hospitalized in A Medical Center from March to September in 2010 for rehabilitation. 46 patients who were diagnosed with stroke and included in selection criteria were divided into two groups: 23 patients involved in repetitive singular exercise group, 23 patients involved in task oriented exercise group. The traditional occupational therapies with repetitive singular exercise or task oriented exercise were given five times a week for three weeks. An assessment of their upper extremity function was made using a Fugl-Meyer Assessment(FMA) and Manual Function Test(MFT).
Results: The improvement of upper extremity function of repetitive singular exercise group was 21.22± 12.35 to 25.26±11.88 in FMA, and 21.22±12.35 to 25.26±11.88 in MFT(p<.05). The improvement of upper extremity function of task oriented exercise group was 22.22±12.48 to 26.39±10.84 in FMA, and 33.52±21.83 to 42.22±21.67 in MFT(p<.05).
Conclusion: There are no significantly difference between repetitive singular exercise group and task oriented exercise group. Also, both the repetitive singular exercise and the task oriented exercise lead improvement of general upper extremity function rather than specific function as gross motor and fine motor function.
