The purpose of the research study is to confirm in effectiveness of somatosensory stimulation and to propose ideal training strategy for functional recovery of stroke patients. Through the previous literatures, our study investigated to the advantages and disadvantages in electrical somatosensory stimulation for stroke patients. Also, our study suggested to applicable strategies and confirmed to growth direction about new somatosensory stimulation therapy for functional recovery in stroke patients. Result of research study, although many study demonstrated to the effectiveness about somatosensory stimulation therapy for stroke patients, many therapists have experienced many difficulties in somatosensory stimulation application for stroke patients in rehabilitation environments. Thus, few have the therapeutic tools for somatosensory or specific sensory input. However, apparently the previous literatures showed that effectiveness of somatosensory stimulation on functional recovery of patients with brain damage. In conclusion, we can be confirmed that an ideal somatosensory stimulation program is very effective in promoting recovery and the integrity of the somatosensory pathway of stroke patients. Furthermore, we anticipate that using the customized mechanical interface provides to positive effects in rehabilitation of patients with brain damage.
