Objective : The purpose of this paper was to study the effect of involved upper extremity’s motor function recovery on Activities of Daily Living in subject with hemiplegia by using Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA) as a motor recovery test and Functional Independence Measure (FIM) as a functional test.Method : The subjects of the study were 20 stroke patients who were admitted in KeiMyung University Dongsan Medical Center from November, 2002 to April, 2003. Data were analyzed for wilcoxon signed-rank test, mann-Whitney U test, spearman’s rho using SPSS/PC+ program. Result : The results of the study was as follow;1. Involved upper extremity’s motor function and independence of ADL is significantly differ-ence after occupational therapy(p<.05).2. Involved upper extremity’s motor function recovery is not significantly correlated in-dependence of ADL. but, motor FIM and FMA is significantly correlated after occupational therapy(r=.461).3. Involved upper extremity’s motor function recovery is significantly difference in lesion site and not significant difference in sex, involved side (p<.05).4. Independence of ADL is not significant difference in lesion site, sex, involved side(p>.05).Conclusion : The results suggest that lesion site maybe a factor to predict involved upper extremity’s motor recovery and require various occupational therapy program according to lesion site.
