The purpose of this study was to determine whether respiratory physical therapy might increase the pulmonary function of the patients with stroke or not. Twenty patients with stroke were randomly assigned to experimental and control group. During four weeks, both groups participated in the conventional physical therapy and only the experimental group added in a program of respiratory physical therapy. Respiratory physical therapy consisted of chest mobilization, resistive ventilatory muscle training used the method of PNF technique and relaxed diaphragm breathing. Baseline and post-test measurements were made of vital capacity. inspiratory capacity, expiratory reserve volume, farced vital capacity, forced expiratory volume at one second, $FE1/FVC(\%)$ and maximal voluntary ventilation. Ater four weeks, the experimental group showed the significant improvement in VC(p<.05). FVC(p<.05), FFV1(p<.05) md MVV(p<.05). However, the controll group showed no significant differnece. As compared th the relationship of dependent variables between the experimental group and control group. experimental group showed the significant difference in VC(p<.01), FEV1(p<.05) and MVV(p<.05). These findings suggest that respiratory physical therapy can be used to improve pulmonary function in stroke patients. Also, respiratory physical therapy should be performed for at least four weeks and be followed by the continuous respiratory exercise programs.

본 연구는 뇌졸중 환자들의 퇴윈 후 1개월까지의 물리치료 양상 및 기능변화와 이에 관련된 요인을 알아보기 위해 1996년 11월 1일 부티 1997년 3월 31일까지 약 4개월 간 부산시 및 대구시, 안동시 등에 소재하고 있는 10개 병원에서 물리치료를 시작한 뇌졸중환자 101명을 대상으로 물리치료를 시작한 시점. 1개월 후, 퇴원 시, 그리고 퇴원 후 1개월이 지난 시점까지 추적하여 기능변화를 평가하였다. 뇌졸중환자의 물리치료 시작 시점의 BI점수는 $27.18\pm23.7$이었고, PS점수는 $17.54\pm4.33$이었다. 물리치료 시작시점을 기준으로 할 때 입원 1개월 후의 BI점수 변화는 평균 21.39(P<0.001), 퇴원시는 37.47(P<0.001), 퇴원 1개월 후는 46.49 만큼 호전되었다(P<0.001). PS점수도 각각 -2.02, -4.52, 리고 -6.26만큼 호전되었다(P<0.001). 그리고 퇴원시에 비해 퇴원후의 변화도 BI점수는 9.01만큼, PS점수는 -1.73만큼 유의하게 호전되었다.(P<0.001). 물리치료 시작시점과 퇴원 시의 BI점수 변화와 유의한 관련이 있는 요인은 물리치료 시작시점의 BI점수와 연령으로 (p<0.05), 물리치료 시작시점의 BI점수가 낮고 연령이 40세 미만에서 기능호전이 컸다. 물리치료 시작시점과 종료시점 사이의 BI점수의 변화는 물리치료 시작시점의 BI점수, 퇴원 1개월 후에 적극적으로 물리치료를 받았는지의 여부, 연령 그리고 수술여부와 유의한 관련성이 있었다. (p<0.05). 즉, 무리치료 시작시점의 BI점수가 낮고, 퇴원 1개월 후에 적극적으로 물리치료를 받은 환자, 연령 40세 미만에, 그리고 수술을 받지 않은 환자에서 기능호전이 컸다. 퇴원시와 퇴원 1개월 후의 BI점수 변화와 관련 있는 변수는 퇴원시의 BI점수, 마비부위, 종교유무 이었는데, 퇴원시의 BI점수가 낮고 좌측마비환자이며 종교를 믿는 환자의 기능호전이 유의하게 컸다(p<0.05). 물리치료 시작시점과 퇴원시의 PS점수 변화와 유의한 관련이 있는 요인은 물리치료 시작시점의 PS점수와 연령이었는데(p<0.05), 물리치료 시작시점의 PS점수가 높고 40세 미만에서 기능호전이 컸다. 물리치료 시작시점과 종료시점 사이의 PS점수 변화와 관련 있는 분수는 물리치료 시작시점의 PS점수, 퇴원 1개월 후에 적극적으로 물리치료를 받았는지의 여부, 연령, 교육수준, 퇴원 후 물리치료 받은 기간, 수술여부 등이었다.(p<0.05). 즉, 물리치료 시작시점의 PS점수가 높고, 퇴원 1개월 후에 적극적으로 물리치료 받은 환자, 연령이 40세 미만, 학력이 높을수록, 퇴원 후 물리치료 받은 기간이 짧은 환자, 그리고 수술을 받지 않은 환자에서 기능호전이 컸다. 퇴원시와 퇴원 1개월 후의 PS점수의 변화는 퇴원시 PS점수가 높고, 학력이 높을수록, 퇴원 1개월 후에 적극적으로 물리치료를 받은 환자, 그리고 퇴원 후 물리치료 기간이 짧고, 남자에서 기능호전이 유의하게 컸다.(p<005). 이상의 결과를 요약하면, 뇌졸중환자의 물리치료 효과를 BI점수로 평가하면 물리치료 시작시점의 BI점수와 연령이 중요한 요인이고, PS점수로 평가하면 역시 물리치료 시작시점의 PS점수와 연령 그리고 교육수준이 중요한 요인으로 생각된다.

The UK Met Office Unified Model at the KMA has been operationally utilized as the next generation numerical prediction system since 2010 after it was first introduced in May, 2008. Researches need to be carried out regarding various physical processes inside the model in order to improve the predictability of the newly introduced Unified Model. We first performed a preliminary experiment for the domain ($170{\times}170$, 10 km, 38 layers) smaller than that of the operating system using the version 7.4 of the UM local model to optimize its physical processes. The result showed that about 7~8% of the improvement ratio was found at each stage by integrating four factors (u, v, th, q), and the final improvement ratio was 25%. Verification was carried out for one month of August, 2008 by applying the optimized combination to the domain identical to the operating system, and the result showed that the precipitation verification score (ETS, equitable threat score) was improved by 9%, approximately.

Purpose: Among computer users, the awkward posture and workstation setups of workers contribute to work-related upper limb musculoskeletal disorders. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of a traditional physical therapy and ergonomic intervention by physical therapists in 4 computer users. Methods: After checking Visual Analogue Scores (VAS), four subjects who were treated by physical therapy for neck and shoulder problems related to VDT syndrome were enrolled in the study. All subjects spent at least 40 hours per week at a computer workstation. All subjects had pain and ergonomic states evaluated using methods such as VAS, Neck Disability Index (NDI), Workstyle short form, Rapid Upper Limb Assessment (RULA), and OSHA VDT checklist (Occupational Safety and Health Administration video display terminal) before a physical therapy + ergonomic intervention. Participants were re-evaluated 1 month later. Results: Participants showed more improvement of their neck pain after being treated with a physical therapy plus ergonomic intervention than when treatment consisted only of physical therapy. Improvements in RULA, Workstyle short form, and OSHA VDT checklist also were achieved. Conclusion: This case study suggests the importance of examining the work habits and work-related postures of subjects who complain of neck and shoulder pain that is exacerbated by computer use. Personalized ergonomic interventions and physical therapy can lead to improvement of patients with VDT syndrome.

Family and parents which serve as a primary group for the children's development also play important role in their cerebral palsy children's treatment. This study wants to know how the parents' participation in their children's physical therapy and satisfaction degree have an impact on their children's improvement of the motor function. For that purpose, a home made self filling survey was conducted of 156 cerebral palsy children's parents whose children were treated in 4 university general hospitals and 3 welfare centers from the 1st of April 2004 to the 31th of march 2005. The gross motor function was employed to evaluate the cerebral palsy children's motor function improvement. In this study, those questioned were divided into two groups according to the time of treatment. 'Group A' is consist of the patients whose parents attended to the treatment more than one hour at home. The patients who belonged to 'Group B' were treated less than one hour at home. The general features of the cerebral palsy children and their parents and the characteristics of their physical disability, the parents' participation and their satisfaction degree were examined by survey. Evaluating the difference between two groups' motor function according to their parents participation degree in the physical therapy leads to the following results. First, 'Group A' was better than 'Group B' in their satisfaction degree with the physical therapy and participation degree. Statistically 'Group A' was superior to 'Group B' in the requirements of the information and education for the children with cerebral palsy. Second, after two months of treatment, 'Group A' showed more statistically significant improvement than 'Group B' in every items as like lying in item 1, sitting in item2, crawling and kneeling in item 3, standing in item 4, walking,running, jumping in item 5. Third, parents' participation in physical therapy and satisfaction degree have some relevance to their children' motor function improvement. The satisfaction degree is related to motor function like crawling and kneeling in item 3, walking,running, jumping in item 5. It is showed that the parents' participation degree and information about handicapped children.
