[Purpose] The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of an intensive sensorimotor stimulation program on the motor function of chronic hemiparetic patients. [Subjects and Methods] The subjects were three chronic stroke patients whose sensory function was intact, who had Mini-Mental State Examination - Korean version scores of more than 26, and manual muscle test scores of more than fair for affected shoulder and elbow. The research design was an A-B single subject experimental design. The intervention consisted of 4 baselines phase sessions, and 12 sensorimotor stimulation phase sessions. The sensory and motor stimulation was performed for 30 minutes per session. The efficacy of the program was evaluated by the Box and Block test, and the 10-second test. [Results] Box and Block test and 10-second test scores of each subject improved after the 8 weeks intervention. [Conclusion] The intensive sensorimotor stimulation program for the upper extremity may be an efficacious method for improving the function of the affected limb of chronic stroke patients.
[目的]本研究旨在探讨强化感觉运动刺激方案对慢性偏瘫患者运动功能的影响。[对象与方法]研究对象为3例慢性卒中患者，其感觉功能完好，韩国版简易精神状态检查表得分超过26分，患侧肩部和肘部徒手肌力测试得分超过“尚可”。研究设计为A-B单受试者实验设计。干预包括4个基线阶段疗程和12个感觉运动刺激阶段疗程。每次疗程进行30分钟的感觉和运动刺激。通过箱块测试和10秒测试评估该方案的疗效。[结果]8周干预后，各受试者的箱块测试和10秒测试得分均有所提高。[结论]针对上肢的强化感觉运动刺激方案可能是改善慢性卒中患者患侧肢体功能的有效方法。
