본 연구는 초기 편마비 환자의 손목에서 표면근전도 분석을 통해 근수축 개시 및 종료의 특성들을 알아보고, 임상적인 치료방법의 기초를 제안하고자 실시하였다. 연구대상자는 원주기독병원에 뇌졸중으로 입원한 환자 중 발병 후 3개월 미만인 13명과 원주시에 거주하는 대조군 7명이었다. 근수축 개시 및 종료의 지연은 표면근전도를 이용하여 손목굽힘근과 손목펴짐근에서 손목관절의 굽힘과 폄동작 시 3초의 근전도 신호음에 따라 가장 빠르고 강하게 최대 등척성 수축과 이완을 하여 신호를 수집하였다. 그 결과 편마비 환자의 환측은 건측과 대조군에 비해 손목관절 굽힘과 폄동작에서 근수축 개시및 종료가 유의하게 지연되었으며, 개시보다 종료가 더 유의하게 지연되었다. 따라서 초기 뇌졸중 환자의 근약화는 근육의 개시 및 종료의 반응시간 지연에 영향을 준다고 볼 수 있다. 앞으로 운동조절과 연관되어 기능적인 회복을 유도할 수 있는 근수축의 민첩성 훈련과 근섬유 동원의 효율성을 증진시키기 위한 치료방법들이 연구되어야 할 것이다.

The purposes of this study are to examine the correlations among mental health and quality of life in stroke patients and find the factors affecting quality of life. The participants were 224 inpatients diagnosed with stroke. The Stroke Specific Quality of Life(SS-QOL) was used for measuring Quality of life and the Symptom Check-List-90-Revised(SCL-90-R) was utilized to measure mental health. The relationships among the variables were examined with Pearson correlation coefficients. And the simple regression analysis and stepwise multiple regression analysis were performed to identify the predictive variables that explain changes of quality of life. There were statistically significant correlations between quality of life and mental health. Mental health was identified as a factor that explains 28% of change in quality of life. And depression was identified as a factor that explains 42% of change in quality of life. The quality of life in stroke patients, the depression was negatively related with it. When working with a stroke patient, an occupational therapist needs to address mental health aspects from the beginning of the rehabilitation process for a holistic approach and optimal outcome.

The purposes of this study were to assess the reliability of the Korean version of Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA-K) and Korean version of Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE-K) and correlation between MoCA-K and MMSE-K to detect cognitive impairment following stroke determined by a neuropsychological battery. Fifty-two chronic stroke patients participated in this study. They divided two group, normal cognitive group (20 patients) with stroke and cognitive impairment group with stroke (32 patients), and research period was from October 2th. to November 30th., 2013. The subjects were measured K-MoCA and K-MMSE. Normal cognitive group showed the moderate reliability in K-MoCA and K-MMSE. Cognitive group showed the more moderate relaibility in K-MoCA and K-MMSE. There was positive correlation as the more score of K-MoCA gain, the more score of K-MMSE showed in both group. The results suggest that both clinical measures are moderately sensitive and proper feasibility to chronic post-stroke cognitive impairment. The both clinical tools suggest to use in research and clinical settings by a neuropshchological battery.

Stroke disease is one of the leading causes of death worldwide, and in particular, it is the most important causative disease that causes disability in the elderly. Since stroke disease often causes death or serious disability, active primary prevention and early detection of prognostic symptoms are very important. In particular, it is necessary to detect and accurately predict stroke prognostic symptoms in daily life and prompt diagnosis and treatment by medical staff. In recent studies, image analysis such as computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is mostly used as a methodology for predicting prognostic symptoms in stroke patients. However, this approach has limitations in terms of long test time and high cost. In this paper, we experimented with clinical data on how stroke disease affects foot pressure in elderly in walking. Experiments have shown that there is a significant difference in * p < .05 in 12 cells between the stroke elderly and the normal elderly during walking. As a result, it is significant that we found a significant difference in the gait patterns in daily life of the stroke elderly and the normal elderly.

The purpose of this study was to investigate relations among the Health Promotion Behavior, Physically, Psychological, and Social factors of the stroke patients. The subjects include the patients that were Stroke was diagnosed and being admitted to hospital. The data of total 223 stroke patients were used in analysis. Collected data were analyzed with descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson correlation, and Structural Equation Analysis. As a result, The higher medical support health promotion behavior scores were higher. Health Promotion Behavior had correlations with the subjective health state(r=.56, p=.000), family support (r=.68, p=.000), medical support(r=.65, p=.000), Fatigue(r=.27, p=.004), and behavioral intentions(r=.75, p=.000). Factors Affecting Health Promotion Behaviors of the Stroke patients Physically factors of(${\beta}$=-.156, p=.014), Psychological factors of subjective health(${\beta}$ =.283, p=.001), behavioral intentions((${\beta}$=.362, p=.000), Social factors such as family support(${\beta}$=.219, p=.010), the medical support(${\beta}$=.246, p=.004) was found to be significant influence factors. In conclusion, health promotion behavior in stroke patients is subjective health, behavioral intentions, a family support. The higher medical support health promoting behavior appears score was found to be highly Psychological factors and social factors are important factors in promoting healthy behavior. Therefore, psychosocial personalized approach to maintaining the stroke health promotion, health promotion action program itdaneunde be used as basis for relapse prevention is significant.

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of a participatory rehabilitation program on sit-rise and rise-to-walk test performances, and perception and motor skills in adults with medically vulnerable individuals and, adults with developmental disabilities in particular. Seventeen adults with developmental disabilities participated in a participatory rehabilitation program using resistance bands and exercise balls, for 60 minutes once weekly over 13 weeks. Their performances were measured before and immediately after the intervention, and 12 weeks after. The findings were as follows. In the sit-rise test, the number of times rising from sitting posture increased after the intervention versus before, but the difference was not statistically significant. In the rise-to-walk test, the performance showed statistically significant difference over time, and the post-hoc test showed a significant effect after the intervention versus before. There was no significant difference in perception and motor skills. In sum, the participatory rehabilitation program positively influenced dynamic balancing related to functional activities but had no significant effect on perception and motor skills, which is related to motor control and motor learning. It is suggested that to increase the participation in community activities, reduce fall risk, and improve dynamic balancing abilities in adults with developmental disabilities, participatory rehabilitation programs should be utilized to promote the physical wellbeing.
