Abstract : This research aims to examine the effects of whole body vibration exercise in a sitting position on chronic CVA patients’ upper extreme function and activity of daily living before they go through occupational therapy.
Method : This research applied a whole body vibration exercise in a sitting position on 28 chronic CVA patients for 10 minutes before conducting occupational therapy. After, In order to compare the changes in upper extreme function and activity of daily living between the research groups of 14 patients, who were carried out a general occupational therapy for 20 minutes, and a control group of 14 patients that had 30 minutes of general occupational therapy, the before and after of the research and control groups’ upper extreme function (MFT) and activity of daily living (MBI) were statistically analyzed using SSPSS (ver.18.0).
Result : For the research group of chronic CVA patients that had a whole body vibration exercise in a sitting position before occupational therapy, their score on upper extreme function increased from 14.14±8.59 before the experiment to 14.50±8.72 after the experiment, showing a statistically significant difference. Also, the research group had an increased score on activity of daily living from 65.43±19.85 before the experiment to 67.07±19.71 after the experiment, proving that it had
a statistically significant difference (p<0.05).
Discussion and Conclusion : The whole body vibration exercise in a sitting position before occupational therapy have been proved to have a positive effect in enhancing chronic CVA patients’ upper extreme function and activity of daily living. Thus, whole body vibration exercise in a sitting position before occupational therapy can be applied as an effective treatment method as a warm-up exercise.
