St roke pat ient s oft en accompany with r est r ict iv e lung disea se but r espir at ory t r ainin g is t end t o be n eglect ed an d the motiv e in du cement for maintainin g r espir at ory t rainin g is difficult . T her efor e the purpose of this study is t o su gg est a mu sic therapy progr am - a way of r espir at ory tr aining for improvin g pulmonary fun ct ion of st roke pat ient s and to ex amin e th e effectiv en es s of that progr am. Subject s wer e r andomly clas sified : th ey wer e stroke patient s in the r ehabilit ation hospital who sh ow the r est r ict iv e lun g dies ease on pulmonary function test . T hey wer e 62 pat ient s , exper imental group (31 people; male 17, female 14) is con sist of left hemiplegia 17 cases , r ight hemiplegia 13 cases , quadr iplegia 1 case an d cont rol group (31 people ; male 16, female 15) is con sist of left h emiplegia 19 cases , right hemiplegia 9 cases , qu adriplegia 3 cases . Mean ag e of ex per iment al group was 60 y ear s and that of cont rol group was 58 y ear s . Reser ch procedur e compar ed control group scor es with exper imental group scor es aft er 3- week s mu sic ther apy which was con sist ed of r elax ation tr aining , simple r espir at ion t r ainin g , singin g familiar son g s an d playing r ecorder . Result s sh owed significant improv ement of ex per iment al group (p< .05). T he s cor es of pulmon ary funct ion pr etest were FVC 1.60±0.6ℓ, FEF M A X 2.77 ±1.6ℓ/ s ec, MVV 34.48±14.9ℓ/min , the scor es of post test wer e FVC 2.01± 0.7ℓ, FEF M A X 3.43±1.6ℓ/ sec, MVV 43.68±17.6ℓ/min . An d it showed st at ist ically significant difference between the chang es of two group FVC (0.001), MVV (0.004) that wer e ex amin ed by ANCOVA. In conclu sion , mu sic th er apy relat ed r espir at ory t rainin g is r egarded a s a u s eful progr am for improving pulmon ary funct ion in st rok e pat ient s and it is pos sible that mu sic ther apy apply as a kind of r ehabilit ation progr am.
