Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify the effects of a home based exercise program for patients with stomach cancer who were undergoing oral chemotherapy. Methods: The home-based exercise program was developed from the study findings of Winningham (1990) and data from the Korea Athletic Promotion Association (2007). The home-based exercise program consisted of 8 weeks of individual exercise education and exercise adherence strategy. Participants were 24 patients with stomach cancer who were undergoing oral chemotherapy following surgery in 2007 or 2008 at a university hospital in Seoul. Patients were randomly assigned to either the experimental group (11) or control group (13). The effects of the homebased exercise program were measured by level of cancer related fatigue, NK cell ratio, anxiety, and quality of life. Data were analyzed using SPSS/WIN 13.0 version. Results: The degree of cancer related fatigue and anxiety in the experimental group decreased compared to the control group. The NK cell ratio and the degree of quality of life of experimental group increased while that of the control group decreased. Conclusion: This study result indicate the importance of exercise and provide empirical evidence for continuation of safe exercise for patients with cancer during their chemotherapy.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of knee joint muscle fatigue and overweight on shock absorption during single-leg landing of adult women. Written informed consent forms, which were approved by the human subject research and review committee at Dong-A University, were provided to all subjects. The subjects who participated in this study were divided into 2 groups: a normal weight group and an overweight group, consisting of 15 young women each. Both the normal weight group and the overweight group showed that use soft landing and ankle dominant strategy. The peak vertical ground reaction force, the knee joint absorption power, and eccentric work done, as the increase of knee joint muscle fatigue level, showed a decrease. And the hip joint absorption power and eccentric work done, as the increase of weight, was less than the overweight group showed the normal weight group. In conclusion, the accumulation of the knee joint muscle fatigue and the increase of body weight may lead to an increased risk of injury during landing.

Purpose: Regular physical activity is beneficial in reducing disease activity and morbidity in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The purposes of this study were to examine the levels of regular physical activity and learned helplessness and to identify factors influencing in participation in regular physical activity in RA patients. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted with 210 RA patients in a university-affiliated hospital. Participants completed a questionnaire including demographic and disease-related characteristics, physical activity and learned helplessness. Data were analyzed with descriptive statistics, $x^2$ tests, t-tests, and multivariate logistic regression analyses. Results: About 23% of RA patients engaged in at least 30 minutes of regular physical activity per week. Patients with being older (OR=1.09, 95%CI=1.03~1.14), no employment status (OR=0.17, 95% CI=0.07~0.42), and lower levels of learned helplessness (OR=0.58, 95% CI=0.34~0.96) had significantly higher chance of engaging in regular physical activity. Conclusion: In developing nursing interventions to promote regular physical activity in RA patients, their learned helplessness should be considered.

1. 도입 및 배경 Lou Gehrig 병이라고 알려져 있는 근위축성 측삭경화증은 중추신경계 중 운동신경의 퇴행성 변화에 의한 진행성 질환이다. 이 병은 근육의 마비와 약화, 강직의 진행과 더불어 언어장애, 연화장애, 호흡장애가 동반된다. ALS는 환자나 가족들에게 엄청난 고통을 주는 질환으로 이병은 발병 후 3-5년 내에 약 $75\%$가 사망한다. 그리고 연하장애가 주된 증상이거나 고령에서 발병하였을 때에는 생존기간이 더욱 단축되는 경향을 나타낸다. 그리고 치명적인 호흡장애로 인해 대부분 사망하게 된다. 현재 의학계에서는 이 병의 원인도 알고 있지 못하고, 증상에 대한 아무런 치료방법도 제시하지 못하고 있는 실정이다. 2. 역학 원발성 운동신경원성 질환의 발생률은 100,000당 약 7명이고, ALS는 이 중 약 $65-85\%$를 차지한다. 전 세계적으로 1년에 약 2-4명/100,000이 발생하고 있으며 시간이 경과할수록 점차 증가하고 있는 추세이다. 3. 연구방법 EMG나 Biopsy 등을 통해 신경과 전문의가 ALS로 진단한 환자 중 상지대학교 부속한방병원에서 3개월 이상 입원치료를 받은 환자 18명을 대상으로 임상연구를 진행하였고, 설문조사는 외래에 내원한 환자 중 설문에 응답한 환자 28명을 포함한 총 46명의 환자들을 대상으로 시행하였다. 치료방법은 침, 약침, 봉약침, 한약 등을 환자의 체질을 고려하여 변증에 따라 적용하였고, 환자의 상태 변화는 ALSFRS(ALS Functional Rate Scale)를 사용하여 관찰하였다. 4. 결과 본 연구결과 ALS의 치료에 한의학적 치료방법은 유효한 것으로 나타났다. 특히 본 질환이 시간이 경과하면서 $100\%$ 악화되는 질환임을 감안한다면 한의학적 치료를 통해 약 $40\%$의 환자에서 몸의 상태나 언어장애, 만성적 피로 등이 호전되었고, 근력도 증가되는 결과를 나타내었다.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of knee joint muscle fatigue and overweight on the angular displacement and moments of the lower limb joints during landing. Written informed consent forms, which were approved by the human subject research and review committee at Dong-A University, were provided to all subjects. The subjects who participated in this study were divided into 2 groups: a normal weight group and an overweight group, consisting of 15 young women each. The knee joint muscle fatigue during landing was found to increase the dynamic stability by minimizing the movements of the coronal and horizontal planes and maintaining a more neutral position to protect the knee. The effect of body weight during landing was better in the normal weight group than in the overweight group, with the lower limbs performing their shock-absorbing function in an efficient manner through increased sagittal movement. Therefore, accumulated fatigue of knee joint muscles or overweight may be highly correlated with the increase in the incidence of injury during landing after jumping, descending stairs, and downhill walking.

거친 해상에서 케이블이 형성된 수 있는 큰 동장력(large dynamic tensile forces)과 기하학적 비선형성(geometric nonlinearity)의 고려는 비선형 케이블 운동방정식(nonlinear cable dynamics)의 해에 상당한 영향을 끼치며 이 결과의 응용은 케이블의 극단장력(extreme tensions)과 slack-and-snapping 케이블의 연구에서 필수적인 부분이 될 것이다. 비선형 유체항력만을 포함한 경우와 기하학적 비선형성과 큰 동장력항을 함께 포함하는 경우의 케이블 운동방정식의 해를 비교하여, 케이블의 동적 거동에 대한 기하학적 비선형과 큰 동장력항의 복합적인 영향을 연구한다. 큰 동장력항과 기하학적 비선형성의 고려는, 최대 동장력의 증가를 가져오나 반면에 최소 동장력의 크기에서의 감소를 가져옴으로, 결국 동장력의 평균값의 상승과 그로인한 케이블의 피로수명 단축을 유발할 수 있다.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of aquatic exercise on pain, fatigue, physical fitness, disability in ADL, and psychological variables in women with arthritis. Methods: With a quasi-experimental design, 46 women who has arthritis were assigned into an experimental group (n=23), or a control group (n=23). Data were analyzed with SPSS/WIN using descriptive statistics, t-test and ANCOVA. Results: The mean age of the subjects was 60.9 years in the experimental group and 59.8 years in the control group. The pretest scores of the outcome variables were similar between the two groups except fatigue and waist flexibility. After controlling fatigue and waist flexibility, the experimental group showed more improvement than the control group in Rt shoulder flexibility score (F=4.36, p=.04), sit-up score (F=32.34, p=.00), and muscle strength score (F=30.78, p=.00). The score of disability in ADL decreased in the experimental group (F=5.49, p=.02). The depression score decreased in the experimental group (F=12.01, p=.00), and self-efficacy was improved more than the other variables(F=8.88, p=.00). Conclusion: Aquatic exercise is likely to be an effective nursing intervention to improve physical fitness, to reduce pain, fatigue, and disability in ADL, and to enhance psychological functions in women with arthritis.

The purpose of this study was to estimate the potential injury via analyzing ground reaction force components that were resulted from a prolonged-run-induced fatigue. For the present study, passive and active components of the vertical ground reaction force were determined from time and frequency domain. Shear components of GRF also were calculated from time and frequency domain. Twenty subjects with rear foot contact aged 20 to 30, no experience in injuries of the extremities, were requested to run on the instrumented tread-mill for 160 minutes at their preference running speed. GRF signals for 10 strides were collected at 5, 35, 65, 95, 125, and 155 minute during running. In conclusions, there were no significant difference in the magnitude of passive force, impact load rate, frequency of the passive and active components in vertical GRF between running times except the magnitude of active force (p<.05). The magnitude of active force was significantly decreased after 125 minute run. The magnitude of maximum peak and maximum frequency of the mediolateral GRF at heel strike and toe-off have not been changed with increasing running time. The time up to the maximum peak of the anteroposterior at heel-strike moment tend to decrease (p<.05), but the maximum peak and frequency of that at heel and toe-off moment didn't depend significantly on running time.

Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of midsole hardness of running shoe on muscle fatigue and impact force during distance running. Method: Ten healthy college recreational runners who were performing distance running at least three times a week participated in this experiment. They were asked to run for 15 minutes in the treadmill at 10 km/h with running shoes having three different types of midsole hardness (Soft, Medium, Hard). EMG signal and insole pressure were collected during the first and last one minute for each running trials. Data were analyzed using a one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) with repeated measures. Results: Midsole hardness did not affect the consistency of stride length. For the median frequency of the EMG signal, only VL was affected by midsole hardness; that of medium was greater than other midsoles (p<.05). The loading rate of impact forces increased by midsole hardness (p<.01). Conclusion: Although soft midsole could attenuate impact forces at heel contact, it might have a negative effect on the fatigue of muscle which could decelerate the body after heel contact. Therefore, it is necessary to select the optimum hardness of midsole carefully for both reduction impact forces and muscle fatigue.
