This study is to investigate the effect of neurocognitive rehabilitation therapy on the performance and upper limb function in patients with incomplete paraplegic spinal cord injury that causes functional impairment of upper extremity. The subject was in treatment at Y rehabilitation hospital in Goyang city, diagnosed with incomplete cervical spinal cord injury so he was selected as a participant who has understood the contents of experiment and showed his intention to participate. The subject was 55-year-old man, diagnosed with C5 / C3 (s), C4 / C3 (m) incom plete tetraplegia ASIA-D and Brown Sequard Syndrome, which had been diagnosed on December 26,2015. The study period ranged from April 4,2016 to May 13 of that year, and the number of neurocognitive rehabilitation administrated in total was 40, which was practiced ten times in 30 minutes for four weeks. In this study, the upper limb function of the subject was improved by 5 on the right side and by 1 on the left side in the box and wood stick test. In the skill evaluation of exercise treatment, the exercise skill score was improved by 0.5 and the treatment technique was 1.5, which was unchanged as before and after treatment. Neurocognitive rehabilitation therapy proved to be effective in improving task performance and upper extremity function of patients with incomplete cervical spinal cord injury. In this study, it was shown that the upper-limb performance the patient feel had changed in quality, not only from the third’s performance observation but also from the self-performance observation when observing the performance of incomplete cervical spinal cord injury patients. The result of this study seems to contribute to improving the quality of treatment of patients with neurologic injuries.
