Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of body perception image training on functional recovery of upper limb in stroke patients, not image training with visual stimulation for specific task. Methods: Thirty inpatients(15males, 15females) who were diagnosed as stroke participated with agreement in this study, also they were divided randomly by experimental and control groups. Before traditional therapeutic exercise, body perception image training was performed in experimental group, as well as control group took a rest, respectively. Body perception image training program was modified using body scan part of Mindfulness Based on Stress Reduction(MBSR) for present study, then it was spplied individually for 4weeks, 5days a week for 10 min. To determine the effects of this training program, data of muscle activities were collected and analyzed from biceps brachii, upper trapezius and deltoid muscles through electromyogram(EMG). Results: By comparison of changes in muscle activities, both experimental and control groups showed significant increase of muscle activities from all theree of muscles after therapeutic intervention(p<.001). In particular, increment of upper trapezius muscle activity in experimental group was markedly higher than control group(p<.05). Conclusion: These results may indicate that traditional therapeutic exercise combined with body perception image training result in increase of muscle activity of upper limb, suggesting it is beneficial for functional recovery in stroke patients.
