This study was performed to figure out effects of stroke rehabilitation on education using isokinetic exercise on physical function recovery. It is considered isokinetic exercise will playa primary role in muscle strength, ROM of joint, and body balance recovery for stroke rehabilitation and so far can be used as a basic references to increase the health of all people. The study consisted of 42 stroke patient(21 training group, 21 control group) diagnosed as cerebral hemorrhage from Oriental Rehabilitation Department of Kyung Hee University. Upper extremity and lower extremity exercise was performed in the training group using isokinetic ergometer. The recovery of physical function(muscle strength, ROM of joint, body balance) data between the two groups were compared and ana lysed by paired t-test are as followed. 1. Muscle testing record showed increased in the strength of elbow flexion, knee flexion, knee extension, ankle extension of the training group com paired to control group(p < .05). In the measurement of ROM, however other parts of the body motion showed no significant changes, only shoulder extension of the training group was increased(p < .05). 2. Body balance increase was highly significant in all training group compaired to control group(p<001). Based on these findings, stroke rehabilitation education with isokinetic ergometer showed available effects on recovery of physical function rehabilitation program with isokinetic exercise will play a primary role in the recovery of physical function of stroke or brain injury patients as well as to promote the health of all people.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of functional strengthening exercise on static and dynamic standing balance in a child with cerebral palsy. The subject was a 7 year old boy with diplegia whose Gross Motor Function Measure (GMFM) score was 80% along with G1 of the lower extremities in Modified Ashworth Scale. The subject was ambulatory with some degree of limitation and demonstrated muscle weakness and strength asymmetry in the lower extremities. A changing criterion design for a single-subject research was used for this study. The functional strengthening exercise consisted of lower extremity ergometer exercise and knee exercise with grading movement in standing position, each for 20 minutes, which lasted 18 sessions for 6 weeks. A knee extensor strength test on both extremities and standing balance test were conducted after each functional strengthening exercise. Two types of standing balance were tested: one leg stance test and functional reach test. One leg stance test was to evaluate static standing balance, and functional reach test was to evaluate dynamic standing balance. The results showed that the functional strengthening exercise had some positive effects on improvement of both static and dynamic standing balance, and there was a positive correlation between the knee strength and standing balance.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the possibility of identifying joint damping property through commercially available isokinetic ergometer (BIODEX). The proposed method is to estimate the damping torque of the knee joint from the difference between the external joint torque for maintaining isokinetic movement and the gravity torque of the lower leg. The damping torque was estimated at various joint angular velocities, from which the damping property would be derived. Measurement setup was composed of the BIODEX system with an external force sensor and Labview system. Matlab was used in the analysis of the damping property. The experimental result showed that the small variation in angular velocity due to acceleration and deceleration of the crank arm resulted in greater change of inertial torque than the damping torque, so that the estimation of damping property from the isokinetic movement is difficult.

Humans may lose considerable amounts of water and electrolytes from sweat during exercise in a hot climate. Optimal ingestion of fluid-replacement beverages may overcome an obstacle factor of exercise performance in the heat. This study was performed the comparison of heart rate and blood lactate between ingestion of Prunus mume solution and water solution during graded maximal exercise using bicycle ergometer in the heat(ambient temperature of 31-32$^{\circ}C$ and relative humidity of 50-55%). Ten healthy no-heat-acclimatized males participated in the study. Exercise duration until all-out of graded testing in the condition of Prunus mume solution ingestion(786.15$\pm$47.66s) was significantly higher(P＜0.05) than the condition of water ingestion. Heart rate at 4 min during graded testing and recovery phase in the condition of Prunus mume solution ingestion was significantly lower(P＜0.05) than the condition of water ingestion. Blood lactate concentration at 30min of recovery phase after graded maximal exercise in the condition of Prunus mume solution ingestion was significantly lower(P＜0.05) than the condition of water ingestion. Recovery rate of blood lactate concentration at 15 min and 30 min of recovery phase after grated maximal exercise in the condition of Prunus mume solution ingestion was significantly lower(P＜0.05) than the condition of water ingestion. Present results suggested that ingestion of Prunus mume solution showed the positive effects on the cardiorespiratory function and acid-base regulation as compared with ingestion of water during graded maximal exercise and recovery phase in hot environment.

PURPOSE: This study was to investigate the effectiveness of TENS on balance in stroke patients by analyzing some components such as foot pressure, limit of stability and velocity sway after providing somatosensroy input using TENS. METHODS: Twenty five subjects participated and were randomly divided into two groups, TENS group (n=13) and control group (n=12) by the computer program. Interventions were given to subjects 5 days a week for four weeks. TENS group were treated with TENS for 60 minutes in addition to the conventional therapy which included 30-minute exercise and rehabilitation ergometer training for 15 minutes. Control group performed only conventional therapy. TENS was applied on the skin of soleus, tibialis anterior, tensor fascia latae and vastus medialis in affected side. Foot pressure, limit of stability and velocity sway for balance test were measured using Biorescue. RESULTS: TENS group was significantly increased limit of stability and foot pressure in affected side more than control group. And in eye closed condition, TENS group was significantly decreased velocity sway more than control group. CONCLUSION: The application of TENS is effective to improve the somatosensory input of affected side and to increase the motor function and balance ability.

[Purpose] This study was performed to investigate the acid-base and ion balance at rest and after exercise in healthy males under normoxia, moderate hypoxia, and severe hypoxia. [Methods] Ten healthy Korean males completed three different trials on different days, comprising exercise under normoxia (F_iO₂ = 20.9%, N trial), moderate hypoxia (F_iO₂ = 16.5%, MH trial), and severe hypoxia (F_iO₂ = 12.8%, SH trial). They undertook endurance exercise for 30 min on a cycle ergometer at the same relative exercise intensity equivalent to 80% maximal heart rate under all conditions. Capillary blood samples were obtained to determine acid-base and ion balance at rest and after exercise. [Results] Exercise-induced blood lactate elevations were significantly increased as hypoxic conditions became more severe; SH > MH > N trials (P = 0.003). After exercise, blood glucose levels were significantly higher in the SH trial than in the N and MH trials (P = 0.001). Capillary oxygen saturation (S_CO₂) levels were significantly lowered as hypoxic conditions became more severe; SH > MH > N trials (P < 0.001). The pH levels were significantly lower in the MH trial than that in the N trial (P = 0.010). Moreover, H_CO_3^- levels were significantly lower in the SH trial than in the N trial, with significant interaction (P = 0.003). There were no significant differences in blood Na⁺, K⁺, and Ca²⁺ levels between the trials. [Conclusion] MH and SH trials induced greater differences in glucose, lactate, S_CO₂, pH, and HCO_3^- levels in capillary blood compared to the N trial. Additionally, lactate, S_CO₂, and HCO_3^- levels showed greater changes in the SH trial than in the MH trial. However, there were no significant differences in Na⁺, K⁺, and Ca²⁺ levels in MH and SH trials compared to the N trial.

본 연구의 목적은 관절계 댐핑특성을 상용 에르고미터(BIODEX)의 등속운동을 이용하여 파악할 수 있는지를 평가하는 것이다. 제안된 방법은 등속운동을 유지하기 위해 인가한 외부토크와 하퇴의 관성토크의 차로부터 슬관절의 댐핑토크를 계산하는 것이다. 댐핑토크는 여러 가지 관절각속도에서 산출되었고, 이로부터 댐핑특성을 유도하였다. 실험장치는 BIODEX 시스템과 별도의 힘센서 및 Labview 시스템으로 구성되었다. 댐핑특성의 해석에는 Matlab을 사용하였다. 실험결과로부터 등속운동의 기동 및 종료를 위한 크랭크 암의 가속 및 감속으로 인한 미세한 각속도의 변화가 댐핑토크의 영향보다 큰 관성토크를 유발하는 것을 알 수 있었다. 따라서, 현재의 등속운동장비로는 댐핑특성을 추정하기가 어렵다고 보여진다.

We performed exercise radionuclide ventriculography to evaluate left ventricular (LV) function in 35 patients with pure mitral stenosis (MS). There were 6 males and 29 females ranging from 21 to 63 years of age (mean $37{\pm}10$ years). We also studied 8 healthy men as control group (mean age $27{\pm}5$ years). Each patients was evaluated at rest and during maximal exercise on an isokinetic bicycle ergometer. Peak filling rate (PFR), peak ejection rate (PER), ejection fracion (EF), end-diastolic volume (EDV), end-systolic volume (ESV), stroke volume (SV), and cardiac output (CO) were determined by the radionuclide technique. The results were summarized as follows: 1) LV systolic dysfunction and reduced PFR were noted in patients with MS. 2) EDV as well as SV decreased with exercise in patients with MS. 3) No significant increase in EF during exercise compared to rest value was observed because it was caused by reduced EDV and SV during exercise in patients with MS. 4) CO increased with exercise was significantly lower than normal in patients with MS. 5) Patients with MS were divided into two groups according to whether SF increased more than 5% druing exercise compared to resting state or decreased. Significant difference were found between these two groups. Patients with a fall in EF with exercise were older, had larger left atrial size, and had lesser decreased in ESV during exercise.

배경: 호흡재활치료는 만성 폐질환 환자들의 폐기능을 호전시키지는 못하나 운동허용능(exercise tolerance)을 호전시키는 것으로 알려져 있다. 그러나 이러한 운동허용능이 증가하는 것이 유산소운동 능력 (aerobic exercise capacity)이 중가하기 때문인지는 논란이 있으며, 아직 국내에서 는 호흡재활치료에 대한 보고가 없었다. 방법: 14명의 만성 폐질환 환자(만성폐쇄성폐질환 11명, 유육종증 1명, 기관지확장증 1명, 특발성 폐섬유화증 1명, 평균 연령 $57{\pm}4$세, 남자 12명, 여자 2명)를 대상으로 6 주간의 호흡재활치료를 시행하여 치료 전후의 폐기능과 운동허용능의 변화를 관찰하였다. 결과: 1) 대상 환자의 호흡재활치료 전 평균 노력성 폐활량(FVC), 1초간 노력성호기량($FEV_1$) 및 노력성 호기중간 기류량($FEF_{25-75%}$)은 각각 예측치의 $71.5{\pm}6.4%$, $40.6{\pm}3.4%$ 및 $19.3{\pm}3.8%$ 였으며, 총 폐용량(TLC), 기능적잔기용량(FRC) 및 잔기량(RV)은 각각 $130.3{\pm}9.3%$, $157.3{\pm}13.2%$ 및 $211.1{\pm}23.9%$이었고, 확산능(diffusing capacity) 및 최대 환기량(MVV)은 각각 $59.1{\pm}1.1%$ 및 $48.6{\pm}6.2%$이었다. 이들 각 폐기능의 지표들은 호흡재활치료 전후 유의한 변화는 없었다. 2) 자전거운동력측정계 (bicycle ergometer)를 이용한 운동부하 검사상 최대 운동량(maximum work rate)은 치료전 $57.7{\pm}4.9$ watts 에서 치료후 $64.8{\pm}6.0$ watts로(P=0.036), 최대산소섭취량($VO_2$ max)은 $0.81{\pm}0.07$ L/mm에서 $0.96{\mu}0.08$ L/mm로 (P=0.004), 무산소역치 (anaerobic threshold)는 $0.60{\pm}0.06$ L/mm 에서 $0.76{\mu}0.06$ L/min로(P=0.009) 호흡재활치료후 유의하게 증가하였다. 가스교환은 호흡재활치료 전후에 변화가 없었다. 3) 지구력시험 (endurance test)상 운동일(work)이 상지는 $4.5{\pm}0.7$ joule 에서 $14.8{\pm}2.4$ joule로 (P<0.001), 하지는 $25.4{\pm}5.7$ joule에서 $42.6{\pm}7.7$로 (P<0.001) 모두 재활치료 후 유의하게 증가하였다. 6분 보행거리는 $392{\pm}35$ 미터 에서 $459{\pm}33$ 미터로(P<0.001) 치료 후 연장되었고, 최대 흡기압도 $68.5{\pm}5.4$ $CmH_2O$에서 $80.4{\pm}6.4$ $CmH_2O$로 증가하였다(P<0.001). 결론: 만성 폐질환 환자에서 6주간의 호흡재활치료는 폐기능 및 가스교환을 호전시키지는 못하였지만 운동허용능(exercise tolerance)을 호전시키는 것으로 사료되었다.
