Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of somatic sense stimulation combined with daily living activities training on the hand functions of chronic stroke patients, and to assess the effects of daily living activities training on the hand functions of chronic stroke patients.
Methods: Thirty six chronic stroke patients who were receiving occupational therapy at G hospital located in Seoul were randomly selected between July and September2017; they were divided into two groups: one group of 18 patients received somatic sense stimulation and daily living activities training, and the other group of 18 patients received only daily living activities training. Both groups had 30 minute training sessions, 5times per week for 8 weeks. FMA were used to test upper extremity functions, FMA was used for sensory testing, MBI was used to see daily living activities, and QVAS measured pain at 0, 4, and 8 weeks after beginning the training.
Results: The group that received somatic sense stimulation and daily living activities training together showed significant differences in K-MBI, FMA (upper extremity, sense), and QVAS ( p <.05). The group that received only daily living activities training showed significant differences in FMA (upper extremity), and QVAS ( p <.050). but did not show any significant difference in FMA (sensation), and K-MBI ( p >.05).
Conclusion: The group that received somatic sense stimulation and daily living activities training together showed more significant differences in hand functions and daily living activities than the group that received only daily living activities training ( p <.05).
