upper extremity motor function
Of the 26 participants who participated in this study, one from the experimental group and one from the control group were excluded due to refusal to participate and early withdrawal, resulting in the final data collection of 12 participants for each group. The results of the normality tests conducted on general physical characteristics such as height and weight indicated that all variables satisfied the assumption of normality (General characteristics.The values are presented mean (SD).MMSE-K = Mini Mental State Examination-Korean Version.Brunnstrom scores showed no significant differences between the 2 groups in the pretest. And in experimental group showed significant improvement before and after intervention (Between group comparison of the Brunnstrom motor recovery stage before and after intervention.The values are presented mean rank.Brunnstrom-UE: Brunnstrom motor recovery stage Upper Extrimity.Brunnstrom-Hand: Brunnstrom motor recovery stage Hand.*In FMA and MFT, there was no significant difference between the 2 groups before the intervention. And both groups showed significant improvement before and after the intervention (Between group comparison of upper extremity motor function assessment before and after intervention.The values are presented mean (SD).*FMA-UE = Fugl-Meyer assessment Upper Extrimity.The A-ROM and K-MBI showed no significant differences between the 2 groups in the pretest, and both groups showed significant improvements in Flexion, Extension, Pronation, Supination, and K-MBI (Comparison of ROM before and after intervention between groups.The values are presented mean (SD).*Comparison of K-MBI before and after intervention between groups.The values are presented mean (SD).*K-MBI = Korean version of modified Barthel index.
