Robot-assisted ambulatory training has become an increasingly popular method of rehabilitation. The present study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of robot-assisted training on walking by measuring changes in gait pattern. In this pilot study, a lightweight, modular, wearable lower-limb robot that supports walking was tested in two male patients who became hemiplegic because of stroke. Wearing the lower-limb robot, 12 weeks of ambulatory training was conducted, 3 days a week, for 45 minutes p

Objectives: This study was conducted to investigate the prevalence of playing-related musculoskeletal disorders (PRMDs) of some music college freshmen majoring in string instruments. Methods: The study subjects were 199 freshmen majoring in strings at three colleges in Seoul and surrounds. The symptom prevalence and related factors of PRMDs were surveyed with a self-administered questionnaire. The Southampton Protocol was used to diagnose PRMDs. Results: The freshmen had played for 9 years and

Objective To apply tailored rehabilitation education to video display terminal (VDT) workers with musculoskeletal pain and to assess changes in musculoskeletal pain after rehabilitation education.Methods A total of 8,828 VDT workers were screened for musculoskeletal disorders using a self-report questionnaire. Six hundred twenty-six VDT workers selected based on their questionnaires were enrolled in musculoskeletal rehabilitation education, which consisted of education on VDT syndrome and confir

The purpose of this study is to analyze forearm muscle activity throughout phases of the golf swing. Using surface electrode electromyography, we evaluated muscle activity in 15 male golfers during the golf swing according to value of root mean square. Surface electrodes were used to record the level of muscle activity in the right flexor carpi radialis (FCR), right extensor carpi radialis (ECR), left FCR and left ECR muscles during the golfer's swing. There were no significant difference among

Objective: To determine if physical factors (age, sex, weight, foot length) affected anteroposterior and intersidal weight- bearing pattern on footplate in standing posture and duration of stance phase at walking.Method: Participants were 578 healthy adults (250 men, 328 women). All participants were tested by GaitviewⓇ (Alfoots, Seoul, Korea) which measure anteroposterior, intersidal weight-bearing pattern on foot plate and duration of stance phase at walking. Measurements were analyzed to find

Objective To assess the usefulness of a pressure algometer to measure pressure pain threshold (PPT) for diagnosis of myofascial pain syndrome (MPS) in the upper extremity and trunk muscles. Method A group of 221 desk workers complaining of upper body pain participated in this study. Five physiatrists made the diagnosis of MPS using physical examination and PPT measurements. PPT measurements were determined for several muscles in the back and upper extremities. Mean PPT data for gender, side, and

보완대체의학으로서 자리를 확립해나가는 산림치유를 실현하기 위해서는 그 효과를 과학적으로 검증하는 연구는 물론이며, 항상 외부활동이 전제되는 특성상 기상조건과의 관련성을 찾는 연구도 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 후경부통에 대한 산림치유의 의학적 효과와 기상조건 간의 관계를 분석하고, 산림치유활동지의 기상분포 경향을 파악하였다. 이를 위해 도시와 산림 간 기상자료를 후경부통에 대한 의학적 효과 결과와 함께 비교하였고, Semi-Variogram분석을 통해 산림 내의 미기상분포를 분석하였다. 그 결과, 도시에 비해 후경부통의치유 효과가 높은 산림의 기상조건은 도시에 비해 온도가 낮고 습도가 높은 상태로 확인되었다. 또한, 산림 내숲 형태별 치유효과와 기상조건은 모두 유의하지 않게 나타났다. 치유효과의 차이가 나타나지 않은 대상지내 기상인자의 경우, 주간에는 공간적 자기상관이 낮아 온습도가 대체로 균일하였으며, 이른 오전과 늦은 오후는 공간에 따라 온습도 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났다.

Objective : This study was carried out to investigate if the measurement of range of motion(ROM) could be applied in the diagnosis of Myofascial Pain Syndrome(MPS) and to determine the severity by analyzing ROM in MPS patients. Methods : The study subjects were 476 female telephone number information service workers. Southampton Protocol and Pittsburgh Protocol were used to diagnose MPS and to measure ROM. ROMs were measured by 2 inclinometers exercising each shoulder passively and actively in

=Objective : The purposes of this study are compare the differences of golf skill improvement change factor(driving distance, head speed, shot efficiency) and flexibility change factor(range of motion, ROM) after 5 minutes(short) and 30 minutes(long) stretching. Method: Subjects were consisted with 20 professionals in Korean Professional Golf Association, 22 amateurs, and 16 beginners which were total of 58 players. Inclinometer was used on ROM measurement and Distance Caddy was used for diving
