매년 높은 비율의 전기안전사고가 발생하지만 예방교육은 단순한 영상홍보나 단순 텍스트를 이용한 교육 수준에서 주입식으로 이루어지고 있다. 항공, 군사, 전력산업 등 다양한 분야에서는 가상현실을 이용한 체험형 교육 시스템이 개발되어 운영되지만 전기안전 예방교육은 감전사고와 같은 특수한 상황의 체험과 사고를 유발시킬 수 있다는 측면에서 체험형 교육시스템이 개발 및 적용이 어렵다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 전기감전 체험교육 시스템에 저주파 자극 장치를 사용할 수 있도록 저주파 간섭형 자극기를 이용한 인체 자극의 임계값 산출시험을 실시하고 대표적으로 성별, 연령별(아동 및 성인 구분)로 구분하여 적절한 자극값을 산출하였다. 본 연구의 결과는 향후 전기안전사고 예방을 위한 체험형 예방 교육 시스템에 활용이 가능할 것이다.

Interferential currents (IFC) and transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) are used for pain management. This study compared the analgesic effects of IFC and TENS on experimentally induced ischemic pain in otherwise pain-free subjects using a modified version of the submaximal-effort tourniquet technique. The subjects were 14 volunteers (7 male, 7 female) without known pathology that could cause pain. Their mean age was $26.7{\pm}2.0$ years. A single-blind, sham controlled, parallel-group method was used. The primary outcome measure was the change in the self-report of pain intensity during 1 of 3 possible interventions: (1) IFC, (2) TENS, or (3) sham electrotherapy. The IFC and TENS were administered on the forearm, and the sham electrotherapy group received no current output via a dummy stimulator. The results show that a 2-way repeated-measures analysis of variance revealed that there was no change in pain intensity during treatment when all 3 groups were considered together. The mean to pain intensity with the IFC intervention was no different than with TENS. Thus, Statistical analysis showed that both interventions decreased the pain intensity ratings significantly and the difference between interventions was not simply insignificant. IFC has been shown to be more comfortable than TENS in present studies and is likely to be better accepted and tolerated by patients, clinical investigation is warranted.

This study was to investigate diagnosis of shoulder pain on cerebrovascular attack patients and treatment effects by using physical treatment and orienatal diagnosis aparatus, as oriental diagnosis equipments, these were used thermography, maegzin and yangdorag machine. as physical treatment equipments, these were used Hot pack, TENS (Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation), ICT(Interferential current therapy) the results were followed 1. In Sex and Age distribution on cerebrovascular attack patients with shoulder pain, male(51.7%)had many than female(48.3%) and 60s were the top, next 70s 50s 40s. 2. In the reason of cerebrovascular attack and the type of motor paresis, cerebrovascular infarction(73.3%) had many than hemorrhage(26.7%) 3. In hospitalizied period of cerebrovascular attack patients with shoulder pain, the period from 11 to 60 days had almost occupied. 4. Oriental medical diagnositic propriety of shoulder pain by using maegzin and yangdorag machine were not recognized. 5. In measuring passive range of motion of pre and post treatment, improvement effect on Hot pack was not showed, but effects on TENS, ICT were showed. 6. In measuring temperature of painful shouler joint of pre and post treatment by using thermography, the effect of Hot pack was not recognized but the effects of TENS, ICT were recognized.

Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation and interferential current therapy were applied to the plantar flexor of the stroke patients, and the immediately effects on gait and ankle ROM were investigated. TENS group (n=15) and ICT group (n=15) were applied to the paretic side plantar flexor, respectively. After 60 minutes of application, evaluation of the gait and passive ankle dorsiflexion range of motion (ROM) using smartphone. After 60 minutes of application, immediate post evaluation was carried out. Two electrotherapy methods showed a significant increase in gait speed, cadence, and ankle ROM. Two electrotherapy methods were intervention methods that could increase the gait and ankle ROM of stroke patients. More subjects will be needed to pinpoint differences between the two electrotherapy methods.

Objective: Constipation is the most common adverse effect of opioid analgesic therapy in cancer patients. This can be associated with physical and emotional distress to cancer patients. The purpose of this study is to review the standard and alternative interventions of the management for opioid-induced constipation (OIC). Methods: The studies were searched from databases, including Pubmed, Google scholar, KISS, NDSL, and OASIS. The main search terms included such as constipation, opioid, opioid-induced constipation, cancer, management, herb, and acupuncture. Results: The prevention and usual care of constipation is a key tool for the management of OIC. Also, prophylactic laxatives starting concurrently with opiates helped to prevent developing constipation. Peripherally acting μ-opioid receptor antagonists (PAMORAs) significantly reduced OIC and well-tolerated. In addition, acupuncture, herb medicines, and interferential current or transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation to acupoints had effectiveness in reducing constipation. Conclusion: Preliminary data indicate that PAMORAs and Traditional Korean Medicine may be considered as the management of unresolved OIC. However, due to the limited articles, more systematic and rigorous clinical trials are needed.
