닫힌 사슬운동과 병행된 중간볼기근의 기능적 전기자극이 편마비환자의 보행에 미치는 효과

Purpose：The purpose of this study was to find out the effect of closed kinetic chain exercise with functional electrical stimulation(FES) of the gluteus medius on gait in stroke. Methods：30 hemiplegic patients voluntarily participated in this study. Subjects were divided into experimental group (n=15) and control group (n=15). Experimental group was given closed kinetic chain exercise with FES of the gluteus medius and control group was given only closed kinetic chain exercise for 4 weeks. All subjects were measured 10m-walking speed, cadence, functional walking category (FAC) and modified motor assessment scale (MMAS) before and after intervention. Results：In experimental group, gait velocity, cadence, FAC and MMAS showed significant difference between pre and post test(p .05), but after intervention, gait velocity, FAC and MMAS were significant difference (p<.05). Conclusion：This study show that closed kinetic chain exercise with functional electrical stimulation(FES) of the gluteus medius is beneficial intervention for increase the wlking ability in stroke.
