목적 : 초등 특수학급 아동과 특수학교 아동을 대상으로 장애아동의 적응행동을 검사하는 적응행동검사(Korea Adaptive Behavior Scale; K-ABS)와 학교에서의 기능적인 과제 수행 능력을 평가하는 학교기능평가(School Function Assessment; SFA)를 적용하여 장애유형별 특징을 알아보고 두 평가도구 간의 상관관계를 도출하고자 하였다. 연구방법 : 대상 장애유형은 지적장애, 뇌병변 장애, 발달장애였으며, 아동을 6개월 이상 지도한 선생님을 통하여 설문지 를 작성하도록 하였다. 연구에 사용된 설문지는 총 67부로 이를 가지고 통계분석 하였다. 결과 : 전체 장애아동에 대한 K-ABS와 SFA의 Pearson 상관관계는 .93으로 높은 상관관계를 보였다. 장애유형에 따른 K-ABS 총점과 SFA 총점 간에는 모두 통계적으로 유의한 상관관계를 가지고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 결론 : K-ABS와 SFA의 상관관계가 입증되었으며, 이후에는 보다 구체적인 장애분류를 통해 타당성을 높일 수 있는 후 속 연구가 필요할 것이다.

The aim of this study was to investigate correlations of the Trunk Control Test (TCT), Postural Assessment Scale for Stroke (PASS-TC), and Trunk Impairment Scale (TIS) and to compare the TCT, PASS-TC, TIS and its subscales in relation to balance, gait and functional performance ability after stroke. Sixty-two stroke patients attending a rehabilitation program participated in the study. Trunk control was measured with the use of TCT, PASS-TC, TIS balance (Berg Balance scale; BSS), gait ability (10 m walk test), functional performance ability (Tuned Up and Go Test TUG) and the mobility part of the Modified Barthel index (MBI), Fugl Meyer-Upper/Lower Extremity (FM-U․L/E). The scatter-plot (correlation coefficient) was composed for the total scores of the TCT, PASS-TC, and TIS. The multiple regression analysis was performed to evaluate the impact of trunk control on balance, gait, and functional performance ability. Twenty eight participants (45.2%) and twenty participants (32.3%) obtained the maximum score on the TCT and PASS-TC respectively; no subject reached the maximum score on the Trunk Impairment Scale. There were significant correlations between the TIS and TCT (r=.38, p<.01), PASS-TC (r=.30, p<.05), TCT and PASS-TC (r=.59, p<.01). Stepwise multiple regression analysis showed that the BBS score (β=.420～.862) had slightly more power in predicting trunk control than the . TIS-dynamic sitting balance, TUG and the MBI-mobility part. This study clearly indicates that trunk control is still impaired in stroke patients. Measures of trunk control were significantly related with values of balance, gait and functional performance ability. The results imply that management of trunk rehabilitation after stroke should be emphasized.
