The Effects of Action Observation Combined with Modified Constraint-induced Movement Therapy on Upper-extremity Function of Subacute Stroke Patients with Moderate Impairment - A Single-blinded Randomized Controlled Trial -
Purpose: To explore the effects of action observation combined with modified constraint-induced movement therapy on upper-extremity function and the activities of daily living in subacute stroke patients. Methods: Twenty-four subacute stroke patients were randomly assigned to the experimental group or the control group (n = 12 each). Both groups received therapy based on motor learning concepts, including repetitive and task-specific practice. The experimental group watched video clips for 10 minutes related to tasks performed during modified constraint-induced movement therapy while the control group watched videos unrelated to upper-extremity movement. These programs were performed for 40 minutes a day five times a week for four weeks. Their scores on the Fugl–Meyer assessment of upper extremities (FMA-UE), the action research arm test (ARAT), a motor activity log (amount of use [AOU] and quality of movement [QOM]), and the modified Barthel index (MBI) were recorded. Results: In both groups, all variables were significantly different between the pre-test and post-test periods (p < 0.05). The post-test variables were significantly different within each group (p < 0.05). In the experimental group, the changes between pre-test and post-test scores in the FMA-UE (14.39 ± 4.31 versus 6.31 ± 4.63), the ARAT (16.00 ± 4.73 versus 11.46 ± 3.73), MAL-AOU (1.57 ± 0.15 versus 1.18 ± 0.28), and MBI (27.54 ± 4.65 versus 18.08 ± 8.52) were significantly higher than those of the control group (p < 0.05). Conclusion: These findings suggest that action observation combined with modified constraint-induced movement therapy may be a beneficial rehabilitation option to improve upper-extremity function in subacute stroke patients with moderate impairment.

학회를 방문 해 주셔서 감사 드립니다. 대한고유수용성신경근촉진법학회는 오래 전 부터 외국 강사를 초빙 하여 임상적지식을 보급하고, 학술적으로 연구 해 오든 중 1995년 11월11일 제주도에서 창립총회를 했습니다.
고유수용성신경근 촉진법(proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation, PNF )은 물리치료사인 Margaret Knott 와 의사이며 신경생리학자인 Herman Kabat (1946-1951 )에 의해 고안 되었습니다. PNF 에는 환자 치료를 위한 철학과 치료기법을 포함하고 있습니다. 치료기법에는 운동학습, 운동조절, 운동행동, 생역학, 인지 등등을 고려한 중추신경계손상자를 위한 접근법과 근력강화, 관절가동범위증가, 지구력의증가, 통증 조절등의 정형외과 계열의 환자를 위한 모든 치료법을 포함하고 있습니다
기능 즉 인체의 모든 기관계의 조화로운 통합으로 이루어지는 기능을 향상 발전 시킬 수 있는 통합적 접근 기법입니다.
최근 WHO(2001)가 제정한 ICF( international classification of function )를 충족 할 수 있는 유일한 치료 접근법이라 할 수 있습니다. 많은 학술 연구자, 임상가들이 학회 발전에 참여하여 학문적, 임상적 풍요로움이 넘치는 학회가 될 수 있기를 기원합니다
