PURPOSE: The purpose of present study was to introduces an exceptional case in measurement methods (CVA, CRA and Cobb angle) to identify the FHP with verified reliability and validity. Subjects: Three males aged 30 years were recruited: A Normal, B and C who have FHP. METHODS: All the subjects were measured CVA, CRA and Cobb angle with the Photogrammetry and Radiography. RESULTS: The results revealed that it is not enough for measurement methods to identify the FHP using CVA, CRA and Cobb angle. On Photogrammetry values; CVA had $65^{\circ}$, CRA was $148^{\circ}$ of Normal subject A and CVA had $61^{\circ}$, CRA was $149^{\circ}$ of FHP subject B and CVA had $51^{\circ}$, CRA was $149^{\circ}$ of FHP subject C. On Radiography values; CVA had $73^{\circ}$, CRA was $148^{\circ}$ and Cobb was $50^{\circ}$ of Normal subject A and CVA had $70^{\circ}$, CRA was $150^{\circ}$ and Cobb was $53^{\circ}$ of FHP subject B and CVA had $61^{\circ}$, CRA was $153^{\circ}$ and Cobb was $31^{\circ}$ of FHP subject C. CONCLUSION: The reliable CVA, CRA and Cobb angle use methods from the previous studies might not be suitable for the diagnose the FHP. We think that it is necessary to have more detailed evaluation methods and the radiography is also needed for clear evaluations because of some possible exceptions.

Purpose : Forward head posture (FHP) is one of the most common postural malalignment of the cranio-cervical region. Previous studies have reported that FHP might affect both temporomandibular joint (TMJ) and cervical muscles, but still remains unclear. The purpose of this study was to compare the changes of craniovertebral angle (CVA) and muscle properties after smartphone use in healthy individuals with and without FHP. Methods : Fifteen healthy individuals aged 18 to 22 years were included. CVA was evaluated using Dartfish motion analysis, and the subjects were divided into two groups according to their CVA: a FHP group (n = 7, CVA less than 48 °) and a control group (n = 8, CVA more than 48 °). MyotonPro was used to measure muscle properties of masseter, digastric and sternocleidomastoid muscles (SCM). Each subject underwent 15-minutes of smartphone task (web browsing or video watching) in relaxed sitting posture. CVA and muscles properties were assessed both before and after the smartphone task. Results : There were significant changes in post measurements of CVA between the groups. Masseter muscle showed significant differences in pre and post measurements of all muscle properties, and digastric muscle showed significance only in muscle tone. Amount of changes (post-pre), however, showed no significant difference in this study. Conclusion : 15-minutes of smartphone task did not affect CVA and muscle properties of masseter, digastric and SCM in both groups, however, there were significant changes in pre and post measurements of CVA and some muscle properties of masseter and digastric muscles. Therefore, CVA, masseter and digastric muscles might be significantly changed in a heavy duration of smartphone usage more than 15-minutes. Further studies are needed regarding duration of smartphone task, assessments in other various TMJ muscle groups, and participants with pathological FHP conditions.

This study has been carried out to investigate the cause, pathological mechanism and treatment of CVA in Youmunsachin(儒門事親), written by Changjongjung(張從政) The results were follows : 1. The cause of CVA in Youmunsachin(儒門事親) was quotated from the theory of Naekyung(內經), Guel-eum-pung-mok(厥陰風木) and exogenous wind evil(外感風邪) on weakness of human body. 2. The pathological mechenism of CVA was that flows of Ki(氣) were obstructive, or executive heart(心) suppress lung(肺) and weakened lung(金) did not control liver(肝), executive liver brought to Gan-pung-nae-dong(肝風內動), and he thought that onset of CVA was frequent in 3nd, 4th, 9th. 10th, 12th lunar month. 3. In treatment of CVA, Han-to-ha-bub(汗吐不法, sweating vomiting passing stool method to remove evil) was used. His treatment was divided into ten sweating vomiting passing stool method by medication for internal use, one vomiting method by medication for external use and one sweating method by using acupuncture. 4. In treatment of CVA, when emergency time, vomiting and passing stool method were used, and then, method of Yangheulgeopung(養血祛風), Chungeulgeodam(淸熱去痰), Pyorissanghae(表裏雙解), Whalheultonglak(活血通絡) was used. 5. In the form of prescription, he used the form of Hwan, San(丸, 散), and he used toxic agent frequently.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the correlation between craniovertebral angle(CVA), age, and body mass index(BMI) in middle-aged people in their 40s and 50s. The forward head posture(FHP) was measured using a posture measuring device using a 3D sensor for 456 healthy men and women. As a result of the study, the middle-aged CVA had a high level of negative correlation with age (r=-.937; p<.01) and a very low level of positive correlation with BMI (r=.071). CVA of middle-aged men had a high negative correlation with age (r=-.932; p<.01) and a very low positive correlation with BMI. There was a correlation (r=.056), whereas, for middle-aged women, there was a high level of negative correlation (r=.939, p<.01) only with age, but had a weak (low level of negative) correlation with BMI. This study suggests that CVA has a significant negative correlation with age in both males and females however, has a weak relationship with BMI.

Mobile telecommunication service is one of the most competitive and rapidly growing industries in Korea. In competitive environments, it is essential to measure and improve customer satisfaction(CS) levels. However, there are a few problems in existing methods of CS measurement. First, sacrifice such as price is not included properly. Thus, the CS is not expanded into the value concept which is important to customer's behavioral intention. Second, CS measurements are not benchmarked with other competitive companies and CS index cannot reflex it properly. AT&T experienced these problems and suggested customer value added (CVA) for CS measurement. In this study, we try to introduce the CVA concept into our mobile telecom services. CS attributes were constructed, an survey was conducted for 5 mobile telecom companies, CS survey results were presented, and the validity of CVA concept was discussed.

This research tries to find out the methods to enhance the rehabilitation ability of Cerebro Vascular Accident(CVA) patients and their family members. For this purpose, the authors identify the factors that may affect the medical rehabilitation process as well as the rehabilitation itself. Furthermore, the current status of the rehabilitation ability and the desires of CVA patients and their family members are surveyed in this research. The results of this research are as follows: Firstly, the surveyed CVA patients, most of whom are over fifties in the age, have cerebral infection and hemorrhage in a numerical order. The survey showed that the larger cities they live in, the more CVA occur to them. Secondly, the survey for the treatment cost demonstrated that the lower are their living level and their education level, the more pressure is put on the CVA patients and their family. The statistical data proved this conclusion is reasonable. Thirdly, as for the safisfaction for the rehabilitation treatment, the statistical survey showed that it is directly proportional to their financial income. Moreover, those who have lower income generally want the rehabilitation services from a public health center. On the other hand, those who have higher income want the home therapy services.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to analyze the differences in terms of services and cost between CVA without typical diseases (Group I), and CVA with typical diseases (Group II), in their Hospital-based home health care. Method: The subjects of this study were 308 CVA patients who used home care nursing during the second phase demonstration project of their hospital-based home health care. Results: The results of the study was as follows 1. Group II had more home visit (15.3/12.7) (p>0.05), and cases of death when home care (16.8/11.4) (p<0.05). 2. Group II needed more services than Group I such as bladder irrigation, skin care, bed sore care, glycerin enema, finger enema, lung care, urine sugar test, monitoring and surveillance of fluid infusion and R.O.M exercise (p<0.05). 3. The variables that showed statistical significance in the regression analysis were family style, OPD visit, level of consciousness, patient's state on termination of home care, and some extend of home health care services (R2=0.373, 0.205). Conclusion: Home nursing care needs to be planned by severity in Hospital-based home health care for CVA patients.
