  • 본 증례연구는 복합손상을 가진 척수손상환자의 재활치료과정을 소개하여 유사한 사례의 치료에 도움이 되고자 하는 것이다. 증례연구의 대상자인 26세의 남자환자는 흉수 4번 완전손상과 사고 당시 전기화상에 의한 좌측하박 절단과 우측손의 정중신경이 마비되었다. 치료초기에는 일상생활동작 검사에서 MBI (Modified Barthel Index) 점수가 22점으로 독립적으로 가능한 것은 거의 없었고, 기능적으로도 모든 도움이 필요한 상태였으나 재활치료결과 독립적으로 가능한 기능수행 능력은 돌아눕기, 일어나 앉기, 침상에서 의자차로 이동하기, 의자차 굴리기였고 제한적이기는 하지만 독립적으로 가능한 일상생활동작은 식사, 상의 입기, 의자차와 같은 높이의 이동 등이 가능하여 MBI 점수가 47점을 나타내었다. 이 환자의 초기의 장기치료목표는 전동 의자차를 이용하여 보호자의 도움을 줄이는 것이었다. 그러나 환자가 익숙하게 의지를 사용하였으며 일반 의자차 사용을 위해 필요한 만큼의 근력증가가 있었고, 의자차에 앉은 상태의 균형감각이 증가하여 목표를 수정하여 일반 의자차를 사용하도록 하였다. 환자 본인이 가지고 있는 재활 잠재력을 최대로 이끌어낼 수 있도록 유도한 결과 부분적으로 제한이 있었지만 실내에서는 의자차를 이용하여 독립적인 생활이 가능하였다.

  • 최근 장애인에 대한 사회적 배려 및 관심이 높아지면서 장애인을 위한 각종 보조기구가 많이 개발되고 있다. 대부분의 청각, 시각, 정아 장애인들은 정자, 수화 등을 통해 타인과의 의사소통이 가능하며, 또한 이들을 위한 많은 보조기구가 개발되어 큰 도움을 받고 있지만 척수 손상 환자들을 위한 보조기구는 전무한 실정이다. 이에 본 논문에서는 척수 손상 환자를 위해 들숨, 날숨 기반으로 각종 기기(컴퓨터, 휠체어, 콘센트 등)들을 작동시키며, 또한 입력된 분자를 음성으로 출력할 수 있는 시스템을 설계하고 구현하여 척수 손상 환자들이 최소한의 도움으로 독립적인 활동이 가능하도록 하였다.

  • 목적 : 본 연구는 척수손상환자들 중 신체활동 정도가 급격하게 차이 나는 운동 선수군과 비선수군의 일상생활동작과 골밀도를 비교 분석하는데 그 목적이 있다. 방법 : 본 연구를 위해 20명(선수 10명, 비선수 10명)의 SCI 환자가 실험에 참가하였다. 골밀도 측정을 위해 이중에너지 방사선골밀도 측정기(Lunar Prodigy, GE Healthcare. England)를 이용하여 종골부위(calcaneus)의 골밀도를 측정하였다. 척수손상환자의 일상 생활 기능을 측정하기 위해 자조관리(self care), 호흡과 괄약근 조절 (respiration and sphincter management task), 이동(transfer)의 세 영역으로 나누어진 SCIM II(Spinal Cord Injury Measurement II)을 이용하였다. 척수손상환자들 중 운동 선수군과 비운동 선수군의 일상생활 동작과 골밀도를 비교 하기 위해 SPSS 14.0 통계 프로그램의 independent t-test를 이용하여 통계분석을 실시하였고 일상생활 동작과 골밀도의 상관관계는 Pearson correlation을 실시하였다. 유의수준은 ${\alpha}$=.05로 통계처리 하였다. 결과 : 검사 결과 선수군이 비선수군보다 통계적으로 유의하게 큰 SCIM 점수와 T-score를 보여주었다. 결론 : 일상생활동작을 측정하기 위하여 SCIM II(SpinalCordIndependenceMeasureII) 척도를 사용하였는데 선수군이 비선수군에 비해 유의하게 높은 SCIM II 총점을 나타내어 운동을 통한 훈련이 척수손상환자의 기능적 활동을 향상시킬 수 있다고 사료된다. 그리고 골밀도 측정 결과 선수군이 비선수군에 비해 통계적으로 유의하게 높은 골밀도를 나타내었다. 이 역시 강도 높은 훈련이 척수손상환자에게 나타날 수 있는 신체구성을 강화시켜줄 수 있을 것으로 사료된다. 운동을 통한 재활 중에서 그 강도가 높을수록 신체의 구성적, 기능적 측면 뿐 아니라 신경의 가소성 측면에서도 증가를 기대해 볼 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

  • The purpose of this research was to investigate the effects of respiratory rehabilitation using a wind instrument for patients suffering from spinal cord injuries. From January 15, 2018 to April 15, 2018, we conducted ten 1-hour sessions of a harmonica program with eight patients with spinal cord injuries with average age of 37 years who could not perform abdominal breathing by themselves. We measured and compared patients' breathing capacity before and after the 10 sessions. Designed particularly for patients with spinal cord injuries resulting in a limited range of neck movement, the study used a 10-hole diatonic harmonica whose length was relatively short. For those patients who had difficulty using their hands, a harmonica holder was provided. Participants were trained to play simple tunes. They were guided to use abdominal breathing to make sounds, with emphasis on those parts requiring long and strong breathing. The results showed that for all eight patients both their breathing volume and their inspiratory volume increased following participation in the harmonica program. Also, the program had psychological benefits (e.g., more life satisfaction and less sadness) and additional physical benefits (e.g., less dizziness due to low blood pressure and better phlegm spitting). This study offers a unique way to help patients with spinal cord injuries to improve their breathing capacity, which may also be associated with a greater quality of life.

  • The purpose of this research attempted to developed the Community Reintegration support Program(H-CRsP) on patients with Spinal Cord Injury(SCI) and identity the effect. To assess the effectiveness of a Hospital based H-CRsP with a comprehensive team approach for treating inpatients with Spinal Cord Injury(SCI), offered by the Korea National Rehabilitation Hospital. Participants with SCI were recruited from the Korean National Rehabilitation Hospital. Twenty-five participants who met inclusion criteria were provided with a H-CRsP. A H-CRsP with modules related to the training of daily living skills, driving, vocations and school support activities, leisure or recreational activities, peer counseling, sexual rehabilitation, and others support activities. The 25 enrolled patients had been treated with average of 6.1 programs 2 times a week for over 2 or 3months. COPM, HADS, WHOQOL-BREF, AD-R were administered before the treatment(pre-test) and also at the time of discharge(post-test) to compare the treatment outcomes in the 25 program participants. Measured level of community integration by CIQ at discharge. The data were analyzed by such statistical methods as frequency and paired t-test analysis. Significant improvements were found on the Occupational Performance and Satisfaction, Acceptance of Disability, Quality of Life score in the COPM, AD-R, WHOQOL-BREF (p<0.05). In addition, 10 of the 25 patients returned to home, work or school. These results demonstrated the effectiveness of the H-CRsP in helping patients with SCI return their communities to which they belong. It considered development of the variety of programs and prepare systematically related system.

  • The central pain in patient with spinal cord injury is a common and disabling sequela. The microsurgical DREZ(Dorsal Root Entry Zone)otomy is a surgical procedure effective in the treatment of intractable pain and spasticity in spinal cord injured patients. It consists of a microsurgical lesions performed in the ventrolateral region of the dorsal root entry zone at the selected levels. This report presents one case with incomplete paraplegia patient, who had chronic central neuropathic pain ineffective to many conservative treatments in bilateral T10 and right T11 segments and both lower extremities, is relieved from the pain after microsurgical DREZotomy. In conclusion, microsurgical DREZotomy is one method of effective treatments for spinal cord injured patients with intractable central neuropathic pain.

  • In the patients having constipation or irritable bowel syndrome, stellate ganglion block is commonly used in many pain clinics because of its excellent effects. But in the case of patients having spinal cord injury complain constipation, its management is very difficult and there is no report about the effects of stellate ganglion block in this case. We experieced good results that stellate ganglion block was very effective in the patients having spinal cord injury complaining severe constipation and other symptoms.

  • The purpose of this study was to investigate the therapeutic effect of fludrocortisone in patients suffering from cervical spinal cord injury (SCI) with orthostatic hypotension (OH). Twenty-six patients with cervical SCI diagnosed with OH through a head-up tilt test were randomly assigned, and they were given either conservative treatment or additional fludrocortisone treatment. Fludrocortisone was administered for 2 weeks, increasing from 0.1 mg to 0.2 mg week . Blood pressure (BP), heart rate (HR), and blood parameters were measured at the beginning and after 2 weeks. After 2 weeks of treatment, there was a significant increase in the baseline BP of the treatment groups (p<.05). When analyzing the drop ratio, there was a tendency for a lower orthostatic BP drop in the treatment groups. Mild adverse events were reported in 7.69% of the treatment groups. Fludrocortisone exhibited therapeutic effects such as preventing cardiovascular complications and continuing rehabilitation through increased baseline BP and reduced OH, and can therefore be considered as a treatment option for OH in patients with SCI.
