This study was conducted to investigate the effects of whole body vibration stimulation training combined with respiratory resistance on respiratory and balance function in stroke patients. 17 patients with chronic stroke were randomly assigned to the experimental group (n = 8) and the general vibration exercise program (n = 9). The intervention was conducted three times a week for 30 minutes once a week for 4 weeks. The respiratory function and balance ability were evaluated before and after the intervention to evaluate the degree of functional improvement. As a result, there was a significant difference (p<.05) between the respiratory function and the balance ability in the experimental group, and a significant difference(p<.05) in the respiratory function between the experimental group and the control group. The balance ability was not significantly different among the experimental groups. Through the results of this study, whole body vibration stimulation training combined with respiratory resistance may be useful as a program for improving respiratory function and balance ability of stroke patients.

For patients suffering from spinal cord injuries, both of the possibility of having complications with the respiratory system and the related fatal rate are still high, while pneumonia is the most important cause of these fatalities. This research was carried out to find out what effects does a breathing exercise have on the respiratory functions and the improvement in the quality of life. The study was carried out for male patients suffering cervical spinal cord injuries for the purpose of inspiratory muscle strengthening. The objects of the study were 17 non-smoking-at-present male patients with C4 to C6 cervical spinal cord injuries. They had practiced inspiratory muscle strengthening training for three times a week for six weeks. The quality of life and the dyspnea (breathing difficulty) were self-measured before and after the training. As a result, the change in respiratory function was only significantly reduced (p<0.01) within the chronic group. In terms of the changes in the quality of life, the sub-acute group has only seen a significant improvement (p<0.05) for the VT(vitality), while the chronic group has seen significant improvements(p<0.05, p<0.01) in: GH(general health); BP(back pain); and VT(vitality). In this research, the inspiratory muscle strengthening has reduced the dyspnea (breathing difficulties) and improved the quality of life.

고지대에서 개최되는 국제운동경기의 경우에 선수들의 고지대 적응이 경기 력에 큰 영향을 미치는 경우가 많다. 고지대에서의 경기는 선수들에게 현기 증을 일으키고 호흡, 순환계의 곤란을 유발시키며, 피로감을 증대시킨다. 국 내에서는 1983년 멕시코 세계 청소년 축구대회 당시 고지적응훈련의 일환으 로, 국내에서 마스크를 착용하고 연습한 사례가 있었다. 이 훈련방법은 정신 력 강화라는 심리적 측면에서 효과가 있을 수 있으나, 일반적으로 고지에서 2-3주간을 지속적으로 체류한 후에 순응이 일어난다는 사실과, 순응된 기능 이 저지대로 돌아올 경우 단시간내에 회복된다는 점을 감안할 때, 연습 시에 는 마스크를 착용하는 훈련방법이 동정맥산소교차의 감소로 저산소증을 유 발하는 고지상황에서의 호흡문제를 해결하는 데는 유효하지 않은 것으로 판 단되었다. 따라서 효과적이고 경제적인 고지적응 훈련은 인간기능에 관련된 변수들의 연관관계를 체계적으로 파악하고, 이 변수들을 효과적으로 조절하 여야만 가능할 것으로 평가되었다.

This study was conducted with a randomized control group pretest-posttest study design to investigate the effects of a combined arts education program combining choral and respiratory training on the respiratory function, stress, and quality of life of university students. Twenty-five university students were randomly assigned to the experimental group (n=13) who participated in the combined arts education program and the control group (n=12) who participated in the general arts education program. As a result, there was a significant difference in the lung capacity, respiratory strength, stress and quality of life scale before and after the experiment in the experimental group (p<0.05). In addition, the results of the rest of the tests showed significant differences (p<0.05), except for the result FEV1. Through the results of this study, the combined art education program that combines chorus and breathing training will be beneficial as a program to improve stress reduction, breathing function and quality of life of university students.

In this study, we developed and evaluated the patient respiration training method which can help to avoid the problems for the limitation of RGRT applicable patient cases. By using the MEMS (micro-electro-mechanical-system) acceleration sensor, we measured movement of motion phantom. We had compared the response of MEMS with commercially introduced real time patient monitoring (RPM) system. We measured the response of the MEMS with 1 dimensional motion phantom movement for 2.5, 3.0, 3.5 second of period and the 2.0, 3.0, 4.0 cm of the amplitudes. The measured period error of the MEMS system was 0.6~6.0% compared with measured period using RPM system. We found that the shape of MEMS signals were similar with RPM system. From this study, we found the possibility of MEMS as patient training system.

The purpose of this study was to determine whether the convergence pulmonary function of the 20s men of mild intellectual disabilities with obesity to tredmill exercise. Ten subjects of mild intellectual disabilities with obesity(experimentals) and ten contrary subjects(controls) were participated in the experiment. experimental group conducted treadmill gait training and control group conducted automed exercise. Subjects were assessed for their respiratory function by using Fit mate. The result of the experiments showed high pulmonary function than the controls. Thus, it suggests that the respiratory functional data of 20s men of mild intellectual disabilities with obesity can be used as a various respiratory one for the exercise programs in the area.

This study was to investigate the effects of music-combined respiration and oral motor training on the voice of healthy elderly. 27 women attending a senior center in Seoul participated and were randomly assigned to the experimental (n = 16) and the control group (n = 11). Subjects attended music program(25 minutes per session) once a week for 4 weeks. For both groups, Fundamental Frequency (F0), Maximum Phonation Time (MPT) and Sequential Motion Rates (SMR) were measured using the Praat speech analysis program before and after the training. The results showed statistical significance in scores of intensity, F0, MPT, and SMR in the experimental group while only intensity was statistically significant in the control group. Considering that, the increasing life expectancy and growing number of older adults, their quality of life has been important. So this study suggests that the respiration and oral motor training would be effectively incorporated into training and services for this population.

The present study was to test if breathing training in melodic intonation therapy (MIT) ameliorated the articulation intelligibility of Broca's aphasics or not. The experimental group did breathing training (2 stages) that preceded the MIT. In order to evaluate the efficacy of the MIT intervention, the VOT (Voice Onset Time), the TD (Total Delay), the voice sound intensity and the expiratory volume of the subjects, closely associated with articulation intelligibility were measured before and after the intervention. It was shown that, in the experimental group after the MIT intervention, the VOT and TD were increased on bilabial/p/, alveolar consonant /t/, and soft palatal /k/(p < 0.05), but no significant differences were found on affricate /c/ and fricative /s/(p > 0.05). In the control group, no significant increases in the VOT and TD were observed on all articulation points(p > 0.05). The voice sound intensity which influences the verbal articulation increased in the experimental group after the intervention(p < 0.05), whereas no significant changes were observed in the control group. In conclusion, the breathing training in the MIT was found to result in improving the articulation intelligibility of Broca's aphasiacs.

환자의 입 냄새로 질병을 구분했다는 기록은 고대 동서양의 역사에서 많이 찾아볼 수 있다. 최근 훈련된 개가 냄새로 암환자와 정상인을 구분했다는 뉴스가 보도 되었다. 호흡가스의 분석을 이용한 질병 검진은 병원에서 진행되고 있는 기존의 고가의 장비나 혈액 채취를 이용한 방법과 비교할 때 검진자와 피검진자가 손쉽게 저가로 진행될 수 있다는 장점이 있다. 최근 인체 호흡가스 분석법에 대한 연구개발이 미국과 유럽 국가를 중심으로 활발하게 진행되고 있다. 현재는 폐암, 폐결핵, 천식 등 주로 호흡기 관련 질병에 대한 분석법이 주를 이루고 있지만, 질병과 호흡가스 성분의 연관성이 밝혀짐에 따라 호흡가스 분석에 근거한 질병 진단은 미래의 다양한 질병 진단법으로 등장할 것으로 예상된다. 본고는 최근 호흡가스 분석법으로 응용되고 있는 질량 분석법과 가스 센서 어레이 기술의 현황 및 이들의 질병 진단 응용에 대해 전망하였다.
