The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of swallowing training of high viscosity bolus for swallow function of stroke patients with dysphagia. This study subjects, acute stroke 18 patients, which were recruited to receive treatment in inpatient at general hospital, located in Kyunggido. Subjects were randomly allocated in experimental group and control group. Experimental group performed swallowing training of high viscosity bolus, while control group conducted Traditional dysphagia therapy. Both groups received treatment 30 minutes a day five times a week for four weeks. The assessment was conducted FDS(: Functional Dysphagia Scale), PAS(: Penetration Aspiration Scale), ASHA NOMS(: American Speech-language-hearing Association National Outcomes Measurements System Swallowing Scale) to compare swallow function for both group. Both groups showed significant improvements after intervention in all measures(p<.05). Change score between the two groups showed a significant improvement on experimental group than control group in FDS(p<.05). Swallowing training of high viscosity bolus could have a positive impact on swallow function for acute stroke patients with dysphagia.

This study was carried out to identify the factors which correlated with upper limb function after stroke and to analyze the effect of related factors on upper limb function. The 100 stroke patients(MMSE-K>24) were participated. The upper limb function according to gender, hand dominance, stroke type, affected location, site of paralysis, speech disorder showed no significant difference, and show significant difference according to shoulder subluxation. The upper limb muscle strength(Manual Muscle Testing), proprioception, muscle tone(Modified Ashworth Scale), grip strength(Dynamometer), paint (Visual Analog Scale) showed significant correlations with upper limb function. These predictors explained 77.6% of the upper limb function and the most significant affecting factor of upper limb function was upper limb muscle strength. In conclusion, the upper limb muscle strengthening will be effective strategy to improving the upper limb function and considering the proprioception, muscle tone, grip strength, pain, subluxation will be helpful to develop the strategies.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the moderating effects of language abilities associated with between emotionality, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and peer play interactions. Two hundred fifty-two participants were 3 year olds, with 136 boys and 116 girls. They were recruited from day care centers and preschools in Gyunggi province and Incheon city. Peer play interaction was assessed by the Penn Interactive Peer Play Scale (PIPPS). Emotionality was measured by Child Behavior Questionnaire (CBQ). ADHD was assessed by teacher ratings of ADHD syndrome. Language abilities were measured by Korean Wechsler Preschool and Primary Scale of Intelligence (K-WPPSI). Teachers completed questionnaires to assess peer play interactions, emotionality, ADHD. The results revealed that language abilities moderated relationships between emotionality and play in isolation. The magnitude of associations between emotionality and play in isolation was greater for high levels of language abilities. Moreover, there were moderating effects of language abilities associated between ADHD and play disruptions. Although ADHD was significantly associated with play disruptions, the association was stronger at the higher levels than the low levels of language abilities. It can be deduced that language abilities of 3 year old children affects the protection factor between emotionality and peer play isolation; whilst, it affects the risk factor on peer play disruptions and ADHD propensity.

The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of reading development program on reading comprehension using meta-analysis method. The authors synthesized 70 studies regarding reading comprehension conducted during 2001 through 2011. The analyses revealed that 1) the average effect size of the reading development program yielded.763, which is regarded considerably large, 2) the effect size of elementary school group was the biggest, 1.030. There were statistically significant differences amongst school levels, 3) the average effect size of published journal articles was 1.250, which is statistically significantly larger than that of dissertation's.700, 4) regarding the methods to measure the effect of reading comprehension, the effect size of reading method was larger, and 5) the effect size of Korean reading development program was statistically larger than that of English reading development program. This study has limitation as it didn't include unpublished manuscripts, conference presentations, and the like, however this study is meaningful in terms that it tried to draw integrated conclusion about the effect of reading development programs using meta-analysis.

The present study was performed to investigate the general research trends of dyslexia and learning disability to explore the centrality of related variables though analysis of keyword networks. Data were collected from ten years articles research information sharing service(RISS) which is provided by korea education and research information service(KERIS). The research subjects selected for the analysis were keyword cleansing work, extraction major keyword using KrKwic program and using NodeXL program to Visualize the center of connection between keyword. The results of this were as follows. First, totally 72 of keyword were extracted from keyword cleansing process and among those keyword. major keywords included learning disability, dyslexia, RTI. Second, analysis of the betweenness centrality of dyslexia and learing disabilities shows that learning disabilities are a key word that has been addressed in the study of dyslexia and learning disabilities in korea. The results of these studies suggest a method of analyzing trends in qualitative and qualitative analysis in relation to dyslexia and learning disorder.
