뇌졸중은 운동기능의 손실, 감각이상, 인지, 언어 장애 등 갑작스런 신경학적 증상을 일으키는 뇌혈 관의 파열 혹은 폐색에 의한 비 외상적인 뇌손상 을 의미한다(Myklebust, & Gottlieb, 1997). 주요 위 험인자로는 고령, 고혈압, 심장질환, 당뇨병, 이전의 뇌졸중 및 일시적 뇌허혈 병력 등 그리고 그 외 흡연, 비만, 스트레스, 알코올 중독 등이 있다(김주 진, 2001). 뇌졸중 후 편마비 환자는 신체 움 직임에 제한이 있어 정상적인 움직임과 차이 가 있다(Meigen, Tetsuya, Kimitaka, Yukihiro, & Toshiyuki, 2003).
The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of functional electrical stimulation on ankle ROM function of the patients with hemiplegia. The objects is 20 patients with hemiplegia, age from 40 to 78 years old and fell into two groups which was a group of functional electrical stimulation. The clinical assessment were obtained before and after four weeks electrical stimulations on affected ankle dorsiflexors that included the range of motion of the active anlkle dorsiflexion, modified ashworth scale of plantarflexors and muscle function of anlkle dorsiflexors. The results of this study were as follows; The functional electrical stimulation has been found to increase range of motion of the anlkle dorsiflexion, muscle function of anlkle dorsiflexors and reduce spasticity of plantarflexors.This study suggests that functional electrical stimulation is an effective treatment in gai t rehabilitation of patients with hemiplegia. we are continuing to explore this therapeutic modality as rehabilitation interventions to improve the patient's hemiplegic gait pattern.
