METHODS: A total of 897 articles of JKSPM from Vol.1, No.1, 2006 to Vol.7, No.4, 2012 were reviewed in regard to research type, research level, subjects, research topic, statistic method, and researcher. RESULTS: The most common research type was experimental study(65%). The most common research level was level 2(randomized controlled trials; RCT)(55%). The most common age group of subject was age 11-30 group(55%). The most common diagnosis of subjects was stroke(49%). The main research topic of articles was therapeutic exercise(13.2%). Independent t-test was the most used statistic method. A professor was the most common researcher. The Daegu and Busan were the most common provinces that researcher works. CONCLUSION: This study showed the trend of research in JKSPM and helped readers to understand the trends of research in fields of physical therapy of Korea. In further studies, it is necessary to review systematically and intensively other journals in field of physical therapy.
