Abstract

Objective : The purpose of this study was to investigate the efficacy of electromyogram-triggered neuromuscular stimulation in the treatment to Guillain-Barre Syndrome patients of through case Study. Methods : The subject was a 66-year old woman who has Guillain-Barre Syndrome, showed wrist and hand function decrease in FMA and JTHFT investigation. She received a electromyogram-triggered neuromuscular stimulation treatment for 4weeks, 1 per day, 30 minute for each(right, left). Results : After 4 week period, wrist and hand function of FMA was observed increase and JTHFT showed improvement in some items. Conclusion : The use of electromyogram-triggered neuromuscular stimulation in the treatment of Guillain-Barre Syndrome who had peripheral neuropathy could been effective to therapy for motor recovery.

목적 : 본 연구의 목적은 말초신경병증인 Guillain-Barre Syndrome 환자에게 근전도 유발 신경근 전기자극을 적용한 사례 연구를 통해 치료의 효과를 알아보는데 있다. 연구방법 : FMA와 JTHFT 결과 특히 손목과 손 기능이 저하되어있는 Guillain-Barre syndrome 환자에게 4주간, 하루 1회, 좌우 각각 30분씩, 손가락 폄근(extensor digitorum communis)에 근전도 유발 신경근 전기자극을 적용하였다. 결과 : 4주간 실시한 결과 FMA의 wrist, hand 에서 개선을 보였고, JTHFT의 일부 개선을 보였다. 결론 : 근전도 유발 신경근전기자극치료를 말초신경계 병증인 Guillain-Barre Syndrome 환자에게 적용하였을 때 적절한 치료 효과를 나타내었다.
