Abstract

Purpose: The aim of this study was to determine the effect of somatosensory training focused on upper limb with trunk
muscle stability of upper limb fuction performance in chronic hemiplegia after stroke.
Methods: Two subjects(2 males) were patients with stroke. Subjects(onset >6 months, KMMSE >24) received somatosensory training focused on upper limb with trunk muscle stability for 50 minutes after each treatment, 5 days per week for 4 weeks. Activities of Somatosensory training focused on upper limb were scapular orientation, scapular setting, hand extrinsic and intrinsic muscle stimulation. Also the activity included induced friction with both hands on the ground for midline formation. Finally, trunk muscle exercises conducted for trunk stabiltiy. To measure the outcome, Manual Function Test, Box and Block test, JebsonTaylor hand function test, Jamar strength test and pinch force test. Manual Muscle test, LightTouch test were conducted.
Results The 2 subjects showed significant improvements in manual function test(MFT), Box and Block test, JebsonTaylor hand function test, Jamar strength test and pinch force test. Manual Muscle test, LightTouch test.
Conclusion: Somatosensory training focused on upper limb with trunk muscle stability can be used as a therapeutic
technique in order to improve upper limb function and strength for chronic hemiplegia. In addition, further investigation
should examine individual studies of somatosensory training focused on upper limb with trunk muscle stability should be
conducted in order to generalize the effects.
