Objectives : The purpose of this study is to investigate the influence of task-oriented activity on the enhancement of upper limb movement of a stroke patient, by comparing the results, before and after the interventions, of selective task-oriented activities Methods : Subjects were selected as 9 adult stroke patients who developed the illness in less than one years, more specifically from the March to May of year 2016. 4 types of grouped task-oriented programs were selectively conducted. The subjects the programs for total 4 weeks, 5 sessions a week, and 30 minutes per session, following their selections in the first week. To investigate the changes of their upper limb movement, Jebsen-taylor hand function test, Purdue pegboard test, and Box and block test were used, before and after the interventions. Results : The upper limb movement of the subjects were significantly improved, after the intervention of selective task-oriented activity. In case of right-side hemiplegic patients, the results of all showed statistically significant differences, while the left-side hemiplegic patients showed significant differences in BBT, and JTHFT (Simulated feeding) (p<.05). Conclusion : The training programs using the selective task-oriented approach has helped improve the rehabilitation of stroke patients, especially the upper limb movement. Therefore, the task-oriented upper limb exercise program shall be clinically applied to effectively help improve the upper limb motor ability of stroke, by promoting patients to actively take part in the rehabilitation exercise.
