The purpose of the study was to examine the effect of resistance training on joint flexibility and muscle strength of upper extremities of institutionalized elderly with impaired cognition. The study design was pretest-posttest control group study and inclusion criteria were elderly aged 65-year older, MMSE score 23 or less, ones who had no serious physical and/or mental problem except impaired cognition, and were capable to carry out resistance training. After consents were obtained participants were randomly assigned. Pre-post evaluation was performed by staff nurses trained beforehand. Among those 4-week study period, experiment was carried out during 5 consecutive days a week for 3 weeks. ROM and extension range of shoulder joints and muscle strength of shoulders and hands for both sides were measured. Flexion, extension, abduction range of right shoulder joint was significantly improved. Flexion and extension muscle strength of left side shoulder and abduction muscle strength of both sides of shoulder were significantly improved. With the study result, it could be concluded that resistance training has therapeutic effects on joint flexibility and muscle strength. More studies adopted longer experimental period to evaluate timing of effect and extinction to refine the protocol are called for.

Background : This study was conducted to know the effect of resistance exercise using thera-band in parallel with conservative therapy in patients with frozen shoulder. Methods : We analyze subjective pain scale, ROM and shoulder functional scale 24 patients diagnosed with adhesive capsulitis were included for study. Among them, 12 patients(experiment group) were managed by resistance exercise as well as conservative physical therapy, another 12 patients(control group) were only treated by conservative therapy alone. All the patients were treated three times a week for 4 weeks, and after, and after each treatment subjective pain scale, ROM, shoulder functional score(SFI) were measured. Results : The VAS were significant reduced between experimental group and control group according to pre-treatment and post-treatment. In experimental group, the ROM and SFI has increased than control group according to pre-treatment and post-treatment. Conclusion : According to the results, we concluded that both conservative therapy and self resistance exercise using thera-band technique are more effective for increasing ROM especially flexion, abduction, internal rotation and SFI than conservative therapy alone.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of elastic band based of PNF pattern on the U/E function in the spinal cord injury patient. 11 subjects with spinal cord injury participated in this study. They took elastic band excercise 5 times per week for 8 weeks. One time excercise spent 35minutes. The therapeutic effect was evaluated by Cybex 6000, BTE Work Simulator, how many seconds they needed to walk 100 meters. 11 cases were examined before, after 8 week, elastic band excercise. The results of this study are as follows; 1. Isokinetic power by Cybex 6000 : The elbow flexion, shoulder flexion and extension were significant difference between test-retest(p<.05). but elbow extension were not significant difference between test-retest. 2. BTE Work Simulator : Wheelchair Propulsion and Steering Torque were significant difference between test-retest(p<.05). 3. Wheelchair Propulsion velocity : There were significant difference between test-retest(p<.05). The findings suggest that SCI patients can improve their Isokinetic power on shoulder and elbow joint, wheelchair propulsion and Steering Torque by BTE Work Simulator, Wheelchair Propulsion velocity through elastic band based of PNF pattern.

Purpose: This study evaluated the relationship between pelvic pressure and irradiation of the proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) upper arm pattern exercises with an elastic band while in a sitting position. Methods: Fourteen subjects with asymptomatic pelvic pressure participated in this study. Pelvic pressure was measured using a Gaitview® system while sitting and performing PNF bilateral upper arm patterns. Resistance strength was provided by the blue elastic band. The statistical significance of the results was evaluated using a repeated one-way ANOVA and the independent t-test. The Bonferroni method was used for the post-hoc test. Results: The results revealed a significant change in the pelvic pressure when performing the PNF arm pattern. The average resistance pressure on the pelvis, with the elastic band, significantly increased after the initial sitting position (F=3.91, 3.92; p<0.05). No significant pelvic pressure changes were noted for each PNF upper arm pattern (p>0.05). Conclusion: The results of this study showed a positive relationship between pelvic pressure and the irradiation of PNF upper arm pattern exercises with resistance in the sitting position.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the relationship between foot pressure and upper arm PNF exercise conducted with elastic bands while standing. Methods: Eighteen asymptomatic patients consented to participate in the study. Foot pressure was measured in the standing position using the Gaitview system for proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation stretching (PNF) using a right upper arm pattern. Resistance strength was varied based on the type of elastic band used (red=medium, green=heavy, and blue=extra heavy). Statistical significance of the results was evaluated using a repeated one-way ANOVA, and the Bonferroni method was used for the ad hoc test (SPSS ver. 18. for Windows). Results: A significant difference was observed in fore-foot, rear-foot, and everage pressure after upper arm PNF exercise. However, there was no significant difference according to the type of elastic band. Conclusion: Based on the results of this study, an upper arm PNF exercise with and without resistance may affect foot pressure in the standing position.
