실어증과 인지장애가 있는 뇌졸중 환자에서 인지 및 언어 치료의 효과

Abstract

Objective : To investigate the effects of cognitive and speech therapy in stroke patients with aphasia and cognitive dysfunction. Method : We evaluated 32 stroke patients admitted into the department of rehabilitation medicine in Chosun University Hospital from January 2010 to December 2012. They all received conventional cognitive therapy. On the other hand, 18 patients of them were received speech therapy at the same time. Mini-Mental Status Examination (MMSE), Motor-free Visual Perception Test (MVPT), Functional Independence Measure (FIM) and P300 tests were checked in all patients. Results : The scores of MMSE, MVPT, FIM and P300 latencies were significantly improved after therapy in both groups (p<0.05). Moreover, the effects were more clear in cognitive and speech therapy group (p<0.05). Conclusion : It was suggested that more interest and healthcare policy improvement of cognitive and speech therapy will be required in stroke patients.
