Abstract
Purpose The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of upper limb function and hand dexterity on group with sensory feedback training after 1 Hz LFrTMS and group with sensory feedback training after sham LFrTMS of stroke patient. Methods This study was conducted from January to June 2021 on 24 hospitalized stroke patients who satisfied the selection criteria. Patients were classified into an experimental group to which sensory feedback training was applied after 1 Hz LFrTMS and a control group to which sensory feedback training was applied after sham rTMS, and the intervention was applied 3 times a week, 40 minutes a day, for a total of 4 weeks. Before and after the intervention, upper extremity function was evaluated in MFT and hand dexterity was evaluated in BBT. Results Upper limb function before and after the intervention was statistically significant (p <.00) in the experimental group, but not statistically significant in the control group (p >.05). Hand dexterity before and after intervention was statistically significant (p <.01) in the experimental group, but not statistically significant in the control group (p>.05). There was no statistically significant difference in the upper limb function and hand dexterity between the intervention groups (p>.05). Conclusion The large mean change after sensory feedback training in the 1Hz LFrTMS intervention group suggests that TMSbased sensory therapy is more effective than the sham TMS group in which only sensory training was performed.
