견갑골강화운동이 만성 뇌졸중환자의 견갑골 대칭성 위치와 체간조절 및 균형능력에 미치는 영향

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of scapular strength exercise including conservation exercise on trunk control and dynamic balance of chronic stroke patients. The subjects for this study were 20 chronic stroke patients. Participants were randomly assigned to scapular strength exercise group(n=10) and conservation exercise therapy group(n=10). Two group were executed during 30min a day, 5 times a wee k during 4 weeks. Subjects were measured for paretic side’s distances from thoracic vertebrae to scapular, trunk control, balance. All date were analyzed by paired t-test and independent t-test of SPSS/PC ver 20.0. After 4 weeks of scapular strength exercise including conservaiotn exercise therapy was showed signif-i cantly effective in scapular symmetrical position, trunk control scale and dynamic balance(burg’s balance scale, time up & go). These results suggest that SSEG was more considraebly increased on scapular location, trunk control scale and dynamic balance than CEG. In conclusion, the scapular stabilization exercise in chronic stroke patients caused by brain injury was effective for improvement in scapular location, trunk control scale and dynamic balance.
