Although the availability of home care rehabilitation services have been greatly increased since community-based rehabilitation was introduced to Korea, there is still a dearth of studies investigating the performance level of ADL (activities of daily living) for the physically disabled in the rural areas. The purposes of this study were to investigate the ADL performance level of disabled persons living at home in the rural areas of Wonju city, Korea, using FIM (functional independence measure) and to identify the specific areas of the ADL to be trained or evaluated by physical therapists or occupational therapists. 298 disabled people were interviewed by 10 physical therapy students. Analysis of the interviews indicated: 1) Forty seven point seven percent of the respondents were elderly-disabled persons whose ages were 61 years old or above, and 69.5% of respondents has the history of chronic disability period of 5 years or more. 2) FIM score of bathing, and stairs climbing showed severe dependent trend 3) FIM scores of self-feeding, urination, defecation, and comprehension ability were mildly dependent. These results revealed that functional evaluation/treatment for discharging from hospitals to the rural areas should be emphasized on the specific ADL performance areas such as bathing, and stairs climbing.

목적 : 본 연구의 목적은 지역사회 내 보건의료관련 봉사활동에 참여한 경험이 있는 노인 그룹과 경험이 없는 노인 그룹에서 보건계열 대학생의 봉사활동에 대한 욕구 및 인식 차이를 알아보고자 하였다. 연구방법 : 2010년 8월부터 2010년 11월까지 노인복지관과 경로당을 이용하는 노인 79명을 대상으로 개별면접 방법으로 조사하였다. 결과 : 노인의 현재 건강상태에 대한 만족도를 알아본 결과, 보통의 응답이 가장 높은 비율을 차지하였고 현재 앓고 있는 질환을 알아본 결과, 재활의학과, 순환기내과, 앓고 있는 질환이 없음의 순으로 높게 나타났다. 보건계열 대학생의 봉사활동에 대한 노인의 인식 정도를 알아본 결과, 이전에 보건의료관련 봉사활동에 참여한 경험이 있는 그룹과 경험이 없는 그룹 모두에서 긍정적이었다. 그러나 이전에 봉사활동에 참여한 경험이 있는 그룹과 경험이 없는 그룹 사이에 보건계열 대학생의 봉사활동에 대한 인식에는 통계학적인 차이가 없었다. 노인이 참여하고 싶은 보건계열 대학생의 봉사활동은 재활의학과 서비스에서 가장 높게 나타났다. 결론 : 지역사회 내 의료사각지대에 있는 노인에게 필요한 보건의료서비스를 제공하기 위해 보건계열 대학생의 체계적이고 지속적인 봉사활동이 필요하다.

Fee for long-term care insurance in Korea are determined in proportion to resources utilized according to severity rather than based on categorization of beneficiaries in consideration of the characteristics of resource utilization. This adoption is based on the assumption that as beneficiaries of long-term care insurance, characteristically, demands social services rather than needs medical treatments, the characteristics of beneficiaries and the quality of utilized resources are comparatively homogenous. Therefore, the proposition is that the size of resource consumed by beneficiaries in the same grade is identical. However, even in the same grade, the level of utilized resources is different depending on the characteristic of beneficiaries. In this regard, this study is to examine whether there are differences in the volumes of utilized resources depending on the characteristics of beneficiaries even in the same grade. We analyzed time study data for 2003, 2005, 2006 which conducted by the Korea Institute for Health and Social Affairs. To look at differences in the volumes of utilized resources, we identified characteristics of beneficiaries that influence utilized resource volumes and categorized services provided by facilities into the rehabilitation treatment category, the problematic behavior category, and the physical malfunction category. Then, we examined each service in consideration of service difficulty levels and wage weights. The result of examination showed that differences in utilized resource volumes exist in all three grades depending on the characteristics of beneficiaries. Especially, in the first grade with a high level of seriousness, utilized resource volumes were different for those three service categories and the problematic behaviour category considered dementia was found to consume the largest volume of resources. Moreover, there was the inversion phenomenon of utilized resources volumes between the grades. This result indicates that utilized resource volumes are different even in the same grade depending on the characteristics of beneficiaries and it is required to consider case-mix for reflection of the volumes of utilized resources depending on the characteristics of beneficiaries.

Objectives We are going to analyze patient's medical and Korean medicine use trends after lumbar surgery, and examine the percentage of use of Korean medicine after surgery and its relevance to the medical care outcome after lumbar surgery. Methods Using 3% patients' sample data of the Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service, two groups were compared the treatment progress of the Korean Medicine treatment group and the untreated group after lumbar surgery by hierarchical logistic regression analysis. After hierarchical logistic regression analysis(including propensity scores), two groups were compared after lumbar surgery, the Korean Medicine treatment group within 50days and untreated group within 50days. Results Lumbar surgery was performed in 2750 patients in 2015. It was 3.72 that the risk(odds ratio) of finished treatment of patients treated without Korean Medicine, compared to patients with Korean Medicine. It was 0.12 that the risk of continuing treatment(odds ratio) of patients treated with Korean Medicine within 50 days, compared to patients treatment more than 50 days. Conclusions The ratio of Korean Medicine treatment after lumbar surgery was 14.8%. The group that did not have Korean Medicine showed a higher possibility of treatment termination than the group who did not. Among the groups treated with Korean Medicine, the early treatment group was more likely to end treatment than the late treatment group. Considering various situations in the medical environment, further studies such as prospective studies and long-term data analysis are considered to be necessary.

Due to the expense of health care and the need to contain costs, many stroke patients are discharged from hospitals while still in an impaired condition. Using Tele-rehabilitation, these patients can receive rehabilitation services remotely. A pegboard is a conventional rehabilitation therapeutic device that integrates cognition, sensation and hand motor function. This study proposes a Tele-rehabilitation content with automated pegboard and shows its functional feasibility. The evaluation of the pegboard session was automated with RFID (radio frequency identification), and a 16-hole pegboard was rapid-prototyped. After a pegboard session is completed, the session result is uploaded to a server automatically for viewing on a web browser by a remote therapist. The therapist can also send messages to remote patients to encourage them or to manage the rehabilitation process.
