Background: Various functional factors should be incorporated during assessment and intervention for patient rehabilitation. Stable respiratory function is one of required factors for functional restoration. To maximize respiratory physical therapy intervention outcome, it is required to understand clinical features of respiratory diseases and physical therapy approaches. Methods: Previous studies were systematically reviewed through computerized search. Methodological qualities of selected studies were evaluated and the levels of recommendations were determined. Results: Assessment for respiratory pattern and thoracic mobility is of importance to improve cardiopulmonary fitness during physical reconditioning. Application of optimal therapeutic protocol can increase thoracic mobility and respiratory function. Interdisciplinary communication is critical during rehabilitation for respiratory patients. Health care provider should have professional knowledge and experience for cardiopulmonary fitness and obligation to endeavor for patients' respiratory rehabilitation. It is necessary to standardize therapeutic intervention, and rehabilitative respiratory exercise should be applied to confirm the effects of intervention. Conclusion: Respiratory diseases that may reduce patients' quality of life and cardiopulmonary fitness should be resolved through physical therapy approaches. Through conducting research, effect of evidence-based and patients' function-oriented intervention can be determined.

This article reviews the concepts of motor ability and motor skill and the models, theories, and treatment approaches of motor contorl. Reflex, hierarchical, and systems models of motor control are discussed. And muscle reeducation, neurodevelopment, motor relearning program, and contemporary task-oriented approach is also discussed. We consider that the concept of motor control is being changed and the treatment approach also is being changed. There are a number of reasons, the first is traditional trteatment approach has limitation. Second is theories of motor control is contineously developed. Third is new approach is coming to us. therefore, the therapists shoulder strive for acquisition of motor skill and motor ability. This article hope the successful integration of models and treatment approaches and its application in physical therapy practice.

This study largely compared the general concept, examination, and treatment of various manual therapy techniques. These various manual therapy techniques, however, are still in the developing stage, so no one approach is yet perfect. Clinically, manual therapy techniques are widely being used to treat the dysfunctional neuromusculoskeletal with the common practice of mobilization, manipulation, exercise, and patient education. Anyone of the above approaches must not be selectively chosen as the best method. Manual therapists should treat patients in the clinic with the full knowledge of these proper manual therapy techniques depending on the patient's symptoms in each of the anatomical, biomechanical, and pathological views.

We are approaches various painful diseases in clinic. Although same disease, it is different to acute, subacute and chronic stage of disease. Therefore, to understanding of tissue anatomy, pathology and physiology is necessary to under-standing pattern of diseases. It is duty work that choice of hot or ice, electrotherapy, choice of adaptable frequency and mathod of exercise therapy etc. During treatment it is important method to choose to treat the client. As treating the client by exercising or treating when the client is resting and seeing if anything else is a problem etc. So what I have approached some of the treatment that a physical therapist could miss during treatment.

Neurostimulation approaches have been developed and explored to modulate neuroplastic changes of cortical function in human brain. As one of the most primary noninvasive tools, transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) was extensively studied in the field of neuroscience. The alternation of cortical neurons depending on the polarity of the tDCS has been used for improving cognitive processing including working memory, learning, and language in normal individuals, as well as in patients with neurological or psychiatric diseases. In addition, tDCS has great advantages: it is a non-invasive, painless, safe, and cost-effective approach to enhance brain function in normal subjects and patients with neurological disorders. Numerous previous studies have confirmed the efficacy of tDCS. However, tDCS has not been considered for clinical applications and research in the field of physical therapy. Therefore, this review will focus on the general principles of tDCS and its related application parameters, and provide consideration of motor behavioral research and clinical applications in physical therapy.

To observe the anatomical structures which cause a cervicogenic headache it reports, from viewpoint of physical therapist in treatment multiple to observe method which approaches, the reporter it does. With the manipulation the vertebral manipulation effected an affirmative effect to cervicogenic headache(Niels Nilsson et al,1997). The manipulation, soft the tissue massage, postural education/advice, muscular elongation, the traction, and postural exercises initially came to be used with that technique which the upper cervical vertebra(0-C3) passive accessory intervertebral movement comes to be used with a cervicogenic headache treatment technique(Grant T & Niere K., 2000). Also, it relates with the diagnosis standard about a cervicogenic headache when the body function over of the cervical vertebra is discovered, the Muscle energy technique was proposed in the treatment which is safety and effect(Bogduk N,2001). The TENS and the Mange gave a reduction effect of pain often.
