Stroke patients often decreased upper extremity function that occurred pain and edema. We researched the effects of resting hand splints on hand pain and on edema in patients with stroke in the acute stage. Participants were randomly allocated to the experiment group (n=15) or the control group (n=15). All participants were treated with general rehabilitation treatment for 30 mins / daily, five days / week, for 12 weeks. In addition, participants in the experiment group wore resting hand splints. The data collected for the study were analyzed using SPSS version 18.0. The statistical significance level was set at α=.05. According to the intervention, the changes in the experimental group proved significant differences. By contrast, significant differences were not seen in the control group. In comparing the changes between the groups, significant differences were found in the experiment group in Visual Analogue Scale and in volume of hand, but not in Modified Ashworth Scale. This study researched the effects of resting hand splints on pain and edema in hands of patients in the acute stage of stroke. Significant decreases were found in hand pain and edema in experiment group. Therefore, resting hand splint will in turn contribute to improved upper limb function in stroke patients.Keywords
