|
|
Purpose : The purpose of this study was research the effects of simultaneous application of focal vibration stimulation and task-oriented training to improve upper extremity motor function after stroke.
Method : The study period was from January, 2018 to April, 2019, to 23 patients who were suitable for selection criteria. Participants were divided into two groups: a vibration stimulation task-oriented training group, and task-oriented training group. Training was conducted a total of 20 sessions, five times a week for 30 minutes a day for four weeks. the amount of use of the affected and unaffected side by accelerometers, and BBT, ARAT was measured with a pre-test, a post-test.
Result : Both groups showed statistically significant changes in BBT, ARAT, amount of use of the affected and unaffected side. The results of the comparison between the groups, amount of use of the affected side, and BBT and grasp and gross movement item of the ARAT showed significant changes in the experimental group compared to the control group.
Conclusion: It found that it was more effective when providing simultaneous application of focal vibration stimulation and task-oriented training than when task-oriented training. In future studies, a comparative study involving a group with only vibration stimulation is required for a large number of subjects for generalization.
