Objective : The purpose of this study is to assess effects of evjenth-hamberg stretching on upper-
extremity function and ADL performance ability of patient with subacute stroke patients
Methods : The object of this study K-hospital located in daegu, 39-year-old man who have receiving
inpatient treatment with stroke. The subject during the period of four weeks, five
times a week, and thirty minutes for one session, evjenth-hamberg stretching exercise of affected
side. Before and after the intervention in order to compare upper-extremity function
was assessed using manual function test(MFT), motor activity log(MAL) and ADL performance
ability was assessed by functional independence measure(FIM).
Results : Upper-extremity function of the object score improved from each 3 in MAL, the ADL
performance ability score increased from 73 to 94.
Conclusion : The result of this study evjenth-hamberg stretching in patients with subacute
stroke upper-extremity function and ADL performance ability to promote was found that the
effect. The evjenth-hamberg stretching in the occupational therapy, if appropriately utilized
more on the functional recovery of patients is expected to be helpful.
