Abstract
|
|
|
Objective : The purpose of this article was to analyze the effects of tDCS on the recovery of upper limb function in stroke patients.
Methods : We searched for papers published in journals between 2009 to 2018, using NDSL and RISS. A total 14 experimental research papers were selected for analysis. The quality of the 14 articles was evaluated using the PEDro scale and 12 articles were analyzed through the Comprehensive Meta Analysis 3.0 program.
Results : All of the 14 articles that were systematically reviewed in this study were published in foreign journals. The effect sizes for upper extremity(U/Ex) strength and U/Ex motion were 0.19(small size effect) and 0.49(medium size effect) respectively. Furthermore, the effect sizes of anode mode and cathode mode were 0.71(large size effect) and 0.41(medium size effect), respectively .The effect size of U/Ex motion and the anode mode were statistically significant(p<0.05).
Conclusion : We identified that tDCS can be a useful rehabilitation technique for stroke patients with limited upper body function. These findings are expected to help with suggestions for basic data on new rehabilitation techniques for stroke patients and the planning of effective interventions.
