METHODS: This study used a nonequivalent control group pre-post test design. We recruited thirty-four stroke patients(16male, 18female), who were assigned to intervention, or control groups. Both groups participated in a conventional stroke rehabilitation program, with the intervention groups also receiving respiratory muscle training 20 minutes a day, three times a week, for 4 weeks. Respiratory function (forced vital capacity) and respiratory muscle strength (maximal inspiratory pressure, maximal Corresponding Author : hnskim@cup.ac.kr This is an Open Access article distributed under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution Non-Commercial License ( which permits unrestricted non-commercial use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited. expiratory pressure) were assessed by spirometry. Cough capacity (peak expiratory flow) was assessed using a peak flow meter. The collected data were analyzed by independent and paired t-tests. RESULTS: The intervention group showed a significant increase in the forced vital capacity (FVC), maximal inspiratory pressure (MIP), maximal expiratory pressure (MEP) and peak expiratory flow (PEF) at the end of the program, while the control group showed no significant changes. CONCLUSION: This study showed that respiratory muscle training increased respiratory function, respiratory muscle strength, and cough capacity in stroke patients and prevented a decrease in cough capacity. These findings suggest that respiratory muscle training effect on respiratory function, respiratory muscle strength and cough capacity for rehabilitation in patients with stroke.

2 400 J Korean Soc Phys Med Vol. 9, No. 4 Ⅰ. 서론뇌졸중은세계적으로가장높은유병률과장기간의장애를발생시키는질환중하나이다 (Goldstein 등, 2011). 뇌졸중으로인해발생한운동피질과피라미드로의손상은편측마비의증상을나타내며, 그결과자세근육의긴장도와수의적움직임의비정상화로인한운동조절장애와체간근육의동시수축이나타나게된다 (De Almeida 등, 2011). 따라서호흡에필요한호흡근육의운동조절기능도손상될수있다 (Britto 등, 2011). 그러나뇌졸중질환과같은신경학적손상을받은환자들은주로좌식생활을하기때문에힘든활동이나흉부감염으로인해갑작스럽게산소요구량이증가하는상황이발생되기전까지는호흡문제가간과되기쉽다 (Sutbeyaz 등, 2010). 선행연구에따르면뇌졸중환자는동일한연령과성별의건강한대조군과비교해보았을때, 호흡기능이대조군에비해 50% 정도감소됨을알수있고 (Khedr 등, 2000). 이런호흡기능의감소는심혈관계사망률및유병률을증가시킨다 (van der Palen 등, 2004). 뇌졸중환자의호흡기능감소는뇌손상으로인한편마비로가로막과갈비사이근, 배근육같은호흡근육의협동작용에필요한운동조절기능이손상되고 (Jandt 등, 2011), 흉벽의운동학적기전이파괴되기 (Lanini 등, 2003) 때문이다. 이로인해호흡근육의전체적또는부분적약화가초래되어흡기근과호기근의근력이감소한다 (Teixeira-Salmela, 2005). 또한뇌손상은삼킴이나기침관련된수의적조절기능도손상시킬수있다. 뇌손상부위에따라증상은다를수있으나, 뇌졸중환자는대부분노인이므로노화로인한감퇴가동반되어삼킴곤란빈도가증가한다 (Martino 등, 2005). 삼킴곤란은폐렴과같은흉부감염의위험을세배이상 (Martino 등, 2005), 흡인했을때에는열배이상증가시킨다 (Smith Hammond 등, 2009). 기도로의이물질의유입과흡인을방지하는기침의기능을고려할때, 뇌졸중환자에게있어서수의적기침은매우중요한문제라고할수있다 (Addington 등, 2008). 수의적기침은공기를들이쉬고, 성문을닫고복근 과흉부근육을동시에수축하여흉곽내압력을높이고, 성문을열면서흉부근육과복근을최대로수축하여폐와기도로부터공기를강하게내보내는 3단계로구성된다 (Widdicombe와 Fontana, 2006). 기침을효율적으로하기위해서는적절한흡기근과호기근의근력이필요하다. 그런데뇌졸중환자의경우호흡근의근력이약화되기때문에효율적인기침이어려워져흡인과흉부감염의빈도가증가한다 (Lanini 등, 2003). 호흡근의기능은환자의운동능력향상과운동에대한심장호흡계가정상적으로반응하는것에기여하는데, 이러한호흡근기능을개선시키기위해서는근력의증가가수반되어야한다. 따라서호흡근이손상되어호흡기능에부전이나타나면호흡근훈련이필요하다 (Sutbeyaz 등, 2010). 호흡훈련은호흡근이약화된환자에게호흡근의기능을향상시킬뿐만아니라 (Lee 등, 2009), 운동능력을증가시키고호흡곤란을개선시키고삶의질을향상시킬수있다 (Sutbeyaz 등, 2010). 가로막을포함한호흡근은형태적으로나기능적으로골격근이므로다른골격근처럼적절한생리적부하를이용한훈련에따라개선된반응을유도할수있다 (Enright 등, 2011). 그러므로대다수고령인뇌졸중환자에게노화와더불어증가할수있는흉부감염을예방하고기침의효율성을증가시킬수있는호기근및흡기근훈련에관한연구가필요하다고생각한다. 그러나현재까지뇌졸중환자의호흡기능향상을위한중재로흡기근강화훈련이강조되어왔다. Chiara 등 (2006) 은호기근훈련 (expiratory muscle training: EMT) 이신경학적질환인다발성경화증환자의최대호기압 (maximum expiratory pressure: MEP) 을증가시키고, 중등도의장애를갖고있는환자에게는최대수의적기침능력을개선시킨다고보고하였다. 따라서뇌졸중환자에게도포괄적인호흡기능을개선하고기침의효율성을높이기위해서는호기근저항훈련을함께실시하여야할것이다. 이에본연구의목적은뇌졸중환자의호흡기능과기침의효율성을개선시킬수있는호기근및흡기근훈련을실시하여, 그효과를폐기능, 호기근및흡기근근력, 기침능력을측정하여규명하는것에있다.

Ⅳ. 고찰대다수고령인뇌졸중환자는노화와더불어입원후오랜시간동안의침상생활로신체활동빈도가감소되어호흡기능저하가나타난다 (Kashihara 등, 1994). 그리고호흡근육의마비로인한호흡근육의약화로수의적기침능력이나객담제거능력이감소되며, 삼킴곤란과흡인의빈도가증가됨으로써기도내분비물이축적되어폐렴, 무기폐등의여러가지호흡기계합병증을일으킬수있다 (Fugl-Meyer 등, 1983; Martino 등, 2005). Kim (2011) 은뇌졸중환자를대상으로일반적인운동치료를 6주간주 5회 30분간실시한대조군과일반적인운동치료와함께 6주간주 3회 30분씩호흡훈련을 실시한호흡훈련군간의연구에서호흡훈련군에서는노력성폐활량 (FVC) 이유의한증가를보였지만, 대조군에서는훈련전후유의한차이를보이지않았다고보고하였다. 또, Sutbeyaz 등 (2010) 은아급성기뇌졸중환자를대상으로흡기근훈련군과호흡재교육훈련군, 대조군으로분류하고 6주동안주 6회의중재를적용한후에폐기능을비교하였는데흡기군훈련군에서노력성폐활량 (FVC) 의유의한증가가나타났다고보고하였다. 본연구에서는 4주간이라는짧은중재기간이었지만환자의호흡근력에따라저강도에서고강도로개별적으로점증시키며호흡훈련을실시한결과폐기능이향상되었다. 이러한결과는호흡훈련의기간은 4 12주, 빈도는주 2 5회, 훈련시간은 20 30분을실시해야효과가있다는연구 (British thoracic society, 2011) 를뒷받침한다. 최대흡기압 (MIP) 과최대호기압 (MEP) 은호흡부전평가나인공호흡기이탈여부를예측하는데사용되기도하지만, 신경근육질환자의흡기근력과호기근력을간접적으로측정하기위해자주사용된다 (Kim 등,

6 404 J Korean Soc Phys Med Vol. 9, No ). Sutbeyaz 등 (2010) 은아급성기뇌졸중환자를대상으로한 6주간의흡기근훈련이최대흡기압을향상시킨다고하였다. 또 Saleem 등 (2005) 은 4주동안특발성파킨슨환자에게호기근육강화훈련에서호기압능력의향상으로호기근력에미치는효과를제시하였다. 그리고 Lee (2013) 는만성뇌졸중환자에게 6주간주 5회일반적인운동치료를실시한대조군과일반적인운동치료와함께호흡재교육을주 5회 30분간실시한실험군사이에중재전후 MIP와 MEP 변화량에서유의한차이가있다고하였다. 그리고실험군에서 3주중재후보다 6주중재후 MIP와 MEP가유의하게증가하였다. 선행연구의결과와같이본연구에서도실험군에서중재 4주후 MIP와 MEP가유의하게증가하여중재전후의대조군과 MIP와 MEP의변화량을비교했을때유의한차이가있었다. 기침은감기등에의해분비물이생길때이분비물을외부로배출시켜폐렴등의합병증을발생하지않게하는우리몸의중요한보호기능이다 (Leith 등, 1968). Kim (2011) 은뇌졸중환자를대상으로일반적인운동치료를 6주간주 5회 30분간실시한대조군과일반적인운동치료와함께 6주간주 3회 30분씩호흡훈련을실시한호흡훈련군의기침능력 (PEF) 을비교하였다. 그결과호흡훈련군은중재후유의하게기침능력이증가하였으나대조군에서는유의한변화가없었다고하였다. 또한두집단간중재전후기침능력의변화량을비교한결과에서도유의한차이가있었다. 본연구에서도선행연구와유사하게실험군에서는 4주호흡훈련후기침능력이증가하였으나, 대조군에서는 4주후기침능력이감소하였다. 이러한대조군의기침능력의감소는본연구의대상자의연령이선행연구의대상자의평균과비교하여고령이기때문으로사료된다. 뇌졸중환자를대상으로한본연구에서 4주라는짧은중재기간에도불구하고개별적으로점증적인고강도훈련을실시한실험군에서호흡기능, 호흡근력, 기침능력이증가하였으나, 대조군에서는기침능력의감소하였다. 이를통해노인뇌졸중환자의기침능력은짧은기간에도감소가할수있다는것을확인하였고, 이러한기침기능의저하는흉부감염, 폐렴, 흡인과같 은문제를유발할수있는위험요인이될수있다. Jung (2013) 의뇌졸중환자를대상으로한선행연구를고찰한결과, 뇌졸중으로인해발생하는이차적손상으로운동수행능력과운동내성이감소하고호흡근의근력과협응저하로인해호흡기능이감소하는것을알았다. 본연구에서는이런문제들을해결하고자호흡근강화훈련을적용하였고, 짧은중재기간에도의미있는연구결과를확인하였다. 본연구결과를바탕으로뇌졸중환자의재활프로그램에호흡근강화훈련이긍정적인영향을미칠것으로사료된다. 앞으로의연구에서는더많은뇌졸중환자를대상으로호흡근강화훈련의장기간중재에따른예후변화에대한연구가이루어져야할것으로생각된다. Ⅴ. 결론본연구에서는뇌졸중환자에게 4주간의호흡근강화훈련이호흡기능, 호흡근력과기침능력에미치는영향에대해알아보았다. 그결과호흡근강화훈련으로실험군에서는호흡기능, 호흡근력과기침능력에서모두증가하였으나대조군에서는기침능력이감소하였다. 이처럼대부분의고령인뇌졸중환자에게호흡근강화훈련을하지않을경우기침능력감소와같은부정적양상을나타낼수있으며이런양상은또다른이차적문제들을야기할수있다고사료된다. 따라서뇌졸중환자에게호흡근강화훈련과같은중재가필요하다고생각된다.
