초록

본 연구는 만성뇌졸중 환자에게 과제지향훈련 및 부가적인 TENS(transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation) 중재가 상지의 근활성, 운동기능 그리고 경직에 미치는 효과를 규명하기 위하여 실시되었다. 단일맹검 및 사전 무작위 임상시험으로 진행되었으며, 24명의 만성 뇌줄중 환자는 무작위로 실험군(n=12)과 대조군(n=12)로 배정되었다. 실험군은 과제지향훈련을 4주간 주 5회, 총 20회 시행하였고, 과제수행 전 30분간 TENS자극을 마비측 팔에 적용받았다. 대조군은 동일한 과제지향훈련을 수행하였고, 속임 TENS자극을 받았다. 근활성은 표면 근전도를 이용하였고, 상지의 운동기능을 측정하기 위하여 Fugl-Meyer 상지 검사를 이용하였다. 또한 경직을 측정하기 위하여 Modified Ashworth Scale(MAS)를 사용하였다. 중재 후 실험군과 대조군 모두에서 근활성이 유의하게 증가하였고, 상지의 운동기능이 유의하게 향상되었다. 또한 경직도 유의한 개선을 보였다. 실험군은 대조군에 비하여 긴노쪽손목폄근과 운동기능 그리고 팔꿉 굽힘근의 경직을 유의하게 개선하였다. 본 연구는 과제지향훈련은 만성 뇌졸중 환자의 근활성 증가, 운동기능개선 그리고 경직 중재에 효과적이며, 부가적인 TENS 중재는 이를 더욱 효과적으로 향상시킴을 증명하였다.

Abstract

This study investigated the efficacy of task-related training (TRT) combined with Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) on the improvement of upper limb muscle activation, motor function and spasticity of upper extremity in chronic stroke patients. This study designed as a pilot randomized clinical trial study. 24 inpatients with chronic stroke were recruited and randomly assigned into two group: the experimental group (n=12) and the control group (n=12). Subjects in the experimental group received high-frequency TENS for 30 minutes on wrist and elbow extensors, while the control group received placebo-TENS stimulation that was not real electrical stimulation. All participants in both groups conducted task-relate training for 30 minutes after TENS application five days a week for four weeks (20 sessions). The primary outcomes of upper limb muscle activation were measured by surface electromyography (EMG), and Fugl-Meyer upper extremity scale (FMUE) was used to assess motor function of upper extremity. Modified ashworth scale (MAS) was used to identify spasticity. The measurements were performed before and after the 4 weeks intervention period. Both groups showed significant improvements in muscle activation, motor function, and spasticity after intervention. Especially, the experimental group shows a significant differences in muscle activation of extensor carpi radialis longus, FMUE, and spasticity on elbow flexor compared to the control group. Our findings indicate that TRT is effective to improve muscle activity, motor function and spasticity in paretic upper limb of chronic stroke patients, and additional TENS application makes this more efficient.
