Abstract

We examined the effect of Transfer Package (TP) using the single case design (BAB method) for a stroke patient with motor paralysis and aphasia of the right upper and lower limbs. Standard occupational therapy (range of motion exercises, task-oriented training, activities of daily living exercises, and housework exercises) was performed in stage A, and standard occupational therapy and TP were performed in stages B1 and B2. As a result, in the B1 and B2 stages, compared with the A stage, improvements were observed in the Fugl-Meyer Assessment upper extremity items, the frequency of use of the paralyzed hand, and the quality of movement. Therefore, TP may be a useful approach for patients with aphasia.
