Moxibustion, which has a more than 4,000-year long history of use in East Asia, has been widely used for gynecological diseases. To investigate the effects of perineum (CV1) moxibustion on gynecological function, infertile women of childbearing age applied CV1 moxibustion for 30 days on a fixed schedule. The subjects had on average $2.4{\pm}1.1$ cases of infertility-related disabilities. After CV1 moxibustion treatment, on average, the subjects showed improvements in $1.5{\pm}1.0$ cases of their gynecological problems. In addition, 14.7% of the subjects got pregnant within $29{\pm}1.4$ days after the treatment. This result shows that application of moxibustion on the CV1 and uterus is an effective treatment for gynecological diseases and that it can improve the function of gynecologic organs.

Purpose: This paper was to review the concept of rehabilitation sports for the disabled. Method: This paper was reviewed related papers published by KODDI(Korea Disabled People's Development Institute) concerning rehabilitation sports. Result: Rehabilitation sports that is integration of rehabilitation therapy and sports, was introduced in the U.K. during the World War I for the people wounded in the war. Since then, it was introduced into Germany for the wounded and disabled, and institutionalized in public health insurance program since 1960s. The present day, rehabilitation sports in Germany has been affected on promotion of physical, psychological, and social function and is being considered an importance field of sports and rehabilitation therapy for the disabled. Now, in our country, research is being carried out to introduce rehabilitation sports for the people with disabilities.

Neonatal seizures are generally not only brief and subtle but also not easily recognized and are usually untreated. In sick neonates, seizures are frequently not manifested clinically but are detected only by electroencephalography (subclinical EEG seizures). This phenomenon of electroclinical dissociation is fairly common in neonates. On the other hand, neonates frequently show clinical behaviors such as stiffening, apnea, or autonomic manifestations that mimic seizures, which is usually associated with underlying encephalopathy and non-epileptic seizures. Therefore, it might be difficult to confirm the diagnosis of neonatal seizures. Early recognition of neonatal seizures is important to minimize poor neurodevelopmental outcomes, including cognitive, behavioral, and learning disabilities, as well as the development of postnatal epilepsy. EEG is a reliable tool in the determination of neonatal seizures. Continuous EEG monitoring is essential for the identification of seizures, evaluation of treatment efficacy, and prediction of the neurodevelopmental outcome. However, there is not yet a wide consensus on the optimal "standard" lead montage for the continuous EEG monitoring.

Private universities are going through difficulties in improving facilities for the disabled students due to financial reasons. Extension elevators, grips on both sides of the hallways for the visually disabled, handrails on the walls of ramps and stairs in the existing building, and improvement of the dormitory chambers are some items of such facilities in this analysis of MyongJi University. Hence, financial support based on the long-term plans and evaluations from the National Treasury to private universities with financial stringencies, will be a critical promotion in appropriating educational budgets and executing corresponding funds. This will eventually bring equal development of educational welfare for the disabled students among national, public, and private universities.

In this paper, a small, lightweight smartphone-controlled riding robot is developed. Also, in this study, a smartphone with a jog shuttle mode for consideration of user convenience is proposed to make a small, lightweight riding robot. As well, a compass sensor is used to compensate for the mechanical characteristics of motors mounted on the riding robot. The riding robot is controlled by the interface of a drag-based jog shuttle in the smartphone, instead of a mechanical controller. For a personal riding robot, if the smartphone is used as a controller instead of a handle or a pole, it reduces its size, weight, and cost to a great extent. Thus, the riding robot can be used in indoor spaces such as offices for moving or a train or bus station and an airport for scouting, or hospital for disabilities. Experimental results show that the riding robot is easily and conveniently controlled by the proposed smartphone interface based on Android.

Recently, despite the presence of a large number of people with disabilities, facilities and services for the disabled are insufficient in comparison with the advanced countries. Especially, unmanned facilities and devices are not available for disabled people without help. As interest in disabled people increased, the convenient facilities for the disabled person should be legally installed in the public places. Moreover, social consensus formation and technical approaches are being actively pursued. In this paper, we propose a five-step scenario to use an unmanned post office. Based on the proposed scenario, we present the method to improve the accessibility of the user interface of the unmanned facilities. And we present a plan for establishing the short- and medium-term service models. This plan is expected to be highly practicable because it reflects the current situations of Korea Post and analysis result of the domestic and oversea cases.

Disabled people have benefited greatly from the developments in technology over the last twenty years. Systems have been developed and refined to help them overcome, or cope with, difficulties they experience as a result of their disabilities. As technology has become cheaper, more powerful and easier to use, disabled people have taken to using them to an ever increasing degree. In this paper, we propose novel hybrid mobility devices which use a combination of human power and electric power. This paper deals with the design of a direct-drive wheel Axial-flux permanent magnet motor. This type motor prove to be the best candidate for application in electric vehicles, as in comparison with conventional motors they allow design with higher compactness, lightness. A prototype vehicle for an application as a hybrid wheelchair is designed, built, and tested.

Technological advances in neonatology led to the improvement of the survival rate in preterm babies with very low birth weights. However, intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) has been one of the major complications of prematurity. IVH is relevant to neurodevelopmental disorders, such as cerebral palsy, language and cognitive impairments, and neurosensory and psychiatric problems, especially when combined with brain parenchymal injuries. Additionally, severe IVH requiring shunt insertion is associated with a higher risk of adverse neurodevelopmental outcomes. Multidisciplinary and longitudinal rehabilitation should be provided for these children based on the patients' life cycles. During the infantile period, it is essential to detect high-risk infants based on neuromotor examinations and provide early intervention as soon as possible. As babies grow up, close monitoring of language and cognitive development is needed. Moreover, providing continuous rehabilitation with task-specific and intensive repetitive training could improve functional outcomes in children with mild-to-moderate disabilities. After school age, maintaining the level of physical activity and managing complications are also needed.

Due to the fast development of information and communication technology, many people are enjoying benefits. However, there are those who do not enjoy the benefits of such information technology due to physical disabilities or economic reasons. This class is classified as an information-vulnerable class with so-called digital divide, and the disabled can be said to be a representative information-vulnerable class. The purpose of the paper is to identify the various causes of digital divide and propose improvement measures for the disabled in Korea. For this purpose, the digital divide data by the national institution over the past four years were analyzed. Through various statistical analysis, it was found that the main cause of the digital divide was insufficient information competency among the three factors diagnosing the digital divide namely, information access, information competency, and information utilization. It was also found that the information utilization activities of the disabled were not productive and consumption-oriented
