PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to investigate which treadmill walking training mode is more effective strategy for improving pulmonary function of persons with chronic stroke. METHODS: Twenty-one chronic stroke patients were allocated and randomly to an experimental group (treadmill training with randomized speed control, n=11) and a control group (treadmill training without speed change, n=10). All participants received 30 minutes of neurodevelopmental treatment. In addition, the two groups performed treadmill training for 20 minutes each time with or without speed change. Speed change was applied 40%, 50%, 60%, 70% of Heart Rate Reserve. All the exercise programs lasted six weeks, with five times per week. Pulmonary function was assessed before and after exercise program by using forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1), and maximal voluntary ventilation (MVV). RESULTS: In the both groups, FEV1 was significantly increased after training (p<.05). Compared to the control group, the experimental group showed 11.9% larger amount of change (p<.05). In the experimental group, FVC and MVV were significantly increased after training (9.9%, 7.6%, respectively) (p<.05). But in the control group, there was no significant difference in the FVC and MVV after training. CONCLUSION: Treadmill training with randomized speed control will be a better positive rehabilitation program than treadmill training without speed change to improve pulmonary function in persons with chronic stroke.

Purpose: The purpose of the study was to identify the effects of problem solving nursing counseling and intensified walking exercise on diabetic self-care, coping strategies, and glycemic control among older adults with DM type II. Method: Ninety nine DM patients who were older than 50 were recruited from DM clinics or public health centers and conveniently assigned into three groups: the Polar(n=41), counseling(n=30) and control groups (n=28). Participants in both Polar and counseling groups attended weekly problem solving nursing counseling for 12 weeks. Polar heart rate monitors were used in the Polar group to intensify walking exercise. Data was collected from November 2003 to August 2004 and analyzed by ANOVA or ANCOVA using the SPSS WIN program. Result: After a 12 week intervention, participants in both the Polar and counseling groups reported increased diabetic self care behaviors and decreased blood glucose levels, which is significantly different from those in the control group. There were no distinctively different program effects between the Polar and counseling groups. Conclusion: Based on the findings, we concluded that problem solving counseling alone could have positive effects on diabetic self care and glycemic controls for older adults with DM. Future research is needed to identify long-term effects of the program.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of stretching, muscle strengthening, and walking exercise on the cardiopulmonary function and health-related quality of life in hemodialysis patients. Methods: Twenty-one patients in the intervention and the control group participated in the exercise respectively on maintenance hemodialysis at four university hospitals. The exercise was composed of 20 to 60 min per session, 3 sessions a week for 12 weeks. The effect of exercise was assessed by cardiopulmonary function (peak oxygen uptake, peak ventilation, peak respiration rate, maximal heart rate, and exercise duration) using a cycle ergometer. Grip strength was measured by dynamometer, and flexibility was measured by sit and reach measuring instrument. Health-related quality of life was measured using Medical Outcomes Study Short Form-36. Results: Peak oxygen uptake, peak ventilation, peak respiration rate, exercise duration, grip strength, flexibility, and physical component scale were significantly improved in the intervention group after 12 week's exercise compared to the control group. Conclusion: These findings indicate the exercise can improve cardiopulmonary function, grip strength, flexibility, and physical component scale of health-related quality of life in hemodialysis patients.

Heart rate is one of the most important signal to monitor the health condition of the patient or exerciser. Various wearable devices have been developed for the continuous monitoring of ECG signal from human body during exercise. Among these, ECG chest belt has been widely used. However wearing chest belt with ECG sensor is uncomfortable in normal life due to the electrode contact between metal electrodes of ECG sensor and skin of the human body. So we develop the royal healthcare backpack that can measure ECG signal without skin contact by using capacitor-type ECG sensor. The position of the measurement point is critical to collect a clear ECG signal in the capacitive ECG measurement from backpack. Various tests were conducted to find the optimal ECG measurement position which has less noise and could get strong and clear ECG signal during exercise, walking, hiking, mountain climbing and cycling.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of wearing induced micro current brassiere on the physiological responses of women. Four women participated to wear a different brassiere condition: with and without micro current chips. Subjects were carried out after wearing the induced micro current brassiere for 120minutes. Eardrum temperature, skin temperature, blood pressure, heart rate, thermal perception, humid perception, and comfort perception were obtained. The results were as follows. The brassiere with micro current chips showed better performance on weight loss than the brassiere without micro current chips. Participants in a higher level of BMI were more likely to lose greater weight. Mean skin temperatures decreased with micro current chips. Participants felt more comfortable for walking in micro current brassiere than in brassiere without micro current chips.

This paper introduces new diagnostic criteria and differential diagnosis of orthostatic dizziness to help clinicians to diagnose hemodynamic orthostatic dizziness. Clinicians need to be able to discriminate hemodynamic orthostatic dizziness from other types of dizziness that are induced or aggravated when standing or walking. Measurements of the orthostatic blood pressure and heart rate are important when screening hemodynamic orthostatic dizziness. Detailed history-taking, a physical examination, and laboratory tests are essential for finding the cause of hemodynamic orthostatic dizziness. The differential diagnosis of hemodynamic orthostatic dizziness is crucial because it can be caused by various autonomic neuropathies.

The purpose of this study was to investigate two different kinds of t-shirts on thermal responses at air temperature of $23{\pm}2^{\circ}C$, relative humidity of $70{\pm}5%$ and wind velocity not more than 0.5 m/sec. Five healthy men wearing boxy type t-shirts or fitted type t-shirts, participated as the subjects. Rectal temperature, skin temperatures, heart rate, clothing microclimate and subjective sensation were measured every 2 minute during experiment(rest, walking, recovery each 20 min.) and compared between two experimental garments(boxy type and fitted type t-shirts). Rectal temperature was lower in recovery phase at wearing fitted type t-shirts. Chest skin temperature was higher at wearing fitted type t-shirts and thigh and leg skin temperature were higher at wearing boxy type t-shirts.

본 연구는 tiletamine/zolazepam 대조군과 대조군에 benzodiazepine의 길항제인 flumazenil을 투여한 실험군의 마취 효과와 혈액생화학, Vital sign, 마취회복시간에 대하여 비교하였다. 건강한 6마리의 개들(평균 체중 $5.2{\pm}2.2$)이 실험에 이용 되었다. Tiletamine/zolazepam 을 투여하였고 20분 뒤에 benzodiazepine의 길항제인 flumazenil 0.1 mg을 투여하였다. 마취효과 (Sedation, analgesia, muscle relaxation, posture and auditory response score), Vital sign (심박수, 호흡수, 체온), 혈액 생화학 (GLU, TP, ALT, AST) 검사들이 두 그룹에서 tiletamine/zolazepam 투여전, 투여후 1, 5, 20, 30, 60 그리고 90분에 실시되었다. 또한 마취회복시간 (head up, sternal recumbency, standing and walking times)은 부동화 상태에서 각 행동양식 이 보이는 시간까지 측정되었다. Analgesia score는 투여 후 20분과 30분에, posture score는 투여 후 30분에 그리고 auditory response score는 투여 후 1분과 20분에 TZF그룹이 TZ그룹보다 유의하게 낮아 benzodiazepine에 대한 flumazenil의 길항효과를 나타냈다. 평균 심박수는 두 그룹 모두 투여 후 1분부터 급상승하여 유의하게 정상 심박수 보다 높았다. 평균 호흡수는 TZF그룹이 TZ그룹보다 유의하지 않았으나 높은 호흡수를 보였다. 결론적으로 개에서 flumazenil의 투여는 tiletamine/zolazepam에 대한 길항작용을 나타내었다. 마취로 부터의 회복에 있어서, flumazenil은 sternal recumbency, standing 및 walking times를 단축시켰다.

본 연구는 무선 센서네트워크를 활용하여 환자 또는 고령자를 위한 ECG, 활동량 모니터링 시스템을 설계 및 구현하였다. 심전도 변화는 사람의 활동, 뛰거나 걷기 등의 움직임에 따라 조금씩 변화한다. 그래서 종종 자세, 행동에 따른 ECG변화의 기록은 중요시되며 이를 위해 매일 활동하는 환자의 활동 모니터링 시스템이 필요하다. ECG와 활동량 데이터는 자동 알림기능을 지원하는 시스템에 저장되고 긴급 상황 발생 시 보다 빠르게 초기 활동을 할 수 있게 한다. 몸에서 계측된 ECG 데이터와 활동량 데이터는 무선 센서네트워크를 통해 베이스테이션과 연결된 서버에 전송되며 서버에서 비정상적 상황을 판별시 발생 의사의 PDA 또는 서버에 데이터를 전송한다.
