기능성 인지보행패턴운동이 정신지체 장애 아동의 보행패턴과 인지기능에 미치는 영향

Abstract

Objectives The purpose of this study was to help neurological disorders seen of the children and improve their quality of life by investigating the functional cognitive gait pattern program on gait pattern and cognitive function in mental retarded children. Methods In order to achieve the purpose of this study, 33 mental retarded children at N located in K city, were selected at random and allocated 11 mental retarded children each for the Non Exercise group (NEG), Deficient Exercise group(DEG), Over Exercise group (OEG) and measured kinematic gait pattern and cognitive function before and after the experiment. The data obtained from this study were analyzed using the SPSS 26.0 statistical program the two-way repeated measures ANOVA and Bonferroni post-hoc test was performed. Results The conclusions obtained through this study were as follows. First, as a result of analyzing the change of gait pattern to functional cognitive gait pattern program, there were significantly improved in velocity, cadence, step length, stride length in OEG compared with NEG and DEG after 16 weeks. Second, as a result of analyzing the change of cognitive function according to functional cognitive gait pattern program, there were significantly improved in body part, number display, movement, operation in OEG compared with NEG and DEG after 16 weeks. Conclusions As conclusions, this study confirmed that the functional cognitive gait pattern program could improve the gait pattern and cognitive function in the mental retarded children.
