수영 프로그램 참여가 뇌성마비 아동의 경직 및 관절가동범위에 미치는 영향

The purpose of this study improves a range of motion and alleviates a spasticity on children with spastic cerebral palsy, range of motion and spasticity caused by excessive myotasis. For achieving this purpose, we select 8 children who are spastic cerebral palsy, as an experimental group, taking part in swimming program of S-rehabilitation center and 8 children who are spastic cerebral palsy, as a control group, not participating swimming program. Swimming exercise is performed from each one hour on three times a week. We use a modified Ashworth Scale (MAS) to evaluate a spastic and a Goniometer to evaluate a range of motion. For a suitable data processing, SPSS/PC+ 12.0 Windows version is used. Differences between pretest and posttest according to spastic and range of motion are compared using two-dependent sample t test and differences intergroup are compared using two-independent sample t test. The results are follows. First, In experimental group, rom of elbow shows significantly different appeared but muscle tone of elbow shows significantly different is not appeared. Second, In experimental group, rom of knee shows significantly different appeared but muscle tone of knee shows significantly different is not appeared. Third, In control group, rom and muscle tone of elbow show significantly different is not appeared. Fourth, In control group, rom and muscle tone of knee show significantly different is not appeared. Fifth, ROM and muscle tone of elbow are improved averagely between groups but significantly different is not appeared. Lastly, ROM and muscle tone of Knee are improved averagely between groups but significantly different is not appeared.
