The propose of the study was to evaluate the efficacy of the partial body weight support during treadmill training on the ambulation in elderly with chronic stroke. Fourteen hemiplegic volunteers participated and were divided into an experimental and control groups. In the experimental group, the body weight support during treadmill training was performed 3 times per week for 6 weeks. In the control group, usual treadmill training was applied. Before and after experiments, temporal-spatial gait parameters were measured. The date of 14 patients who carried out the whole experimental course were statistically analyzed. The results of the study were : 1. In the comparison of gait velocity before and after experiment, the gait velocity was significantly increased in the experimental group and the control group(p<.05). In the comparison of difference of the gait velocity between groups, there was not, significant difference between the experimental group and the control group(p>.05). 2. In comparison of gait cadence before and after experiment, the gait cadence was significantly increased in both groups(p<.05). In the comparison of difference of the gait cadence between groups, there was not significant difference between the experimental group and the control group(p>.05). 3. In the comparison of step length before and after experiment, the step length was significantly increased in the experimental group and the control group(p<.05). In the comparison of difference of the step length between groups, there was not significant difference between the experimental group and the control group(p>.05). 4. In the comparison of single support time asymmetry before and after experiment, the single support time asymmetry was no significant difference between groups(p>.05). In the comparison of difference of the single support time asymmetry between groups, there was not significant difference between the experimental group and the control group(p>.05). 5. In the comparison of step length asymmetry before and. after experiment, the step length asymmetry was not significant difference between the experimental group and the control group(p>.05). In the comparison of difference of the single step length asymmetry between groups, there was not significant difference between the experimental group and the control group(p>.05).

Objectives: We describe the clinical course in a 53-year-old female patient admitted to a Korean Medicine Hospital with insomnia disorder accompanied by a herniated intervertebral disc and managed with Korean medical treatments. Methods: The patient was treated with herbal medicines, including Shihogayonggolmoryo-tang, acupuncture, pharmacopuncture, and Chuna manual therapy for 33 days. The therapeutic effect was evaluated based on the Insomnia Severity Index, Numerical Rating Scale score, Oswestry Disability Index, and European Quality of Life 5 Dimensions Scale. Results: Post-treatment, the Insomnia Severity Index decreased from 21 to 6, the Numerical Rating Scale score decreased from 7 to 3, the Oswestry Disability Index decreased from 60 to 18, and the European Quality of Life 5 Dimensions Scale increased from 0.35 to 0.85. Conclusions: Korean medical treatments improved the symptoms of this patient with insomnia disorder accompanied by a herniated intervertebral disc. Further clinical research on patients with insomnia disorder is needed.

본 연구는 지적장애 아동을 대상으로 백색소음을 적용하여 대상자들의 쓰기 능력과 손 기능의 변화를 분석하여 백색소음의 적용에 따른 지적장애 아동의 쓰기 능력과 손 기능 변화에 대한 기초자료를 제공하고자 수행되었다. 연구대상은 지적장애 아동 12명이며, 백색소음을 적용하여 대상자들의 적용 전, 후 쓰기 능력과 손 기능을 분석하였다. 백색소음의 제공은 백색소음 발생기를 통해 연속적이며, 균일하게 제공하였다. 쓰기 능력의 분석은 KNISE-BAAT(Korea National Institute for Special Education-Basic Academic Achievement Tests) 도구를 활용하여 표기능력, 어휘구사력, 문장구사력을 평가하였다. 손 기능의 분석은 Manual Function Test(MFT) 도구의 세부항목인 Pegboard 항목을 활용하여 분석하였다. 쓰기 능력 분석결과 대상자들의 표기능력과 어휘구사력에서 통계적으로 유의미한 향상이 나타났으며, 문장구사력에서는 향상이 나타나지 않았다. 손 기능 분석결과 양손 모두 통계적으로 유의미한 향상이 나타났다. 따라서, 지적장애 아동들의 저하된 쓰기 능력과 손 기능을 향상시킬 수 있는 보상적 접근방법으로 백색소음의 적용을 고려해야 할 필요가 있다고 판단되며, 지적장애 아동들의 수행수준과 학습수준, 학업성취도를 향상시킬 수 있도록 생활공간 및 학습공간에서 백색소음의 제공을 고려해야 할 것이다.
