Purpose : The purpose of this study was investigated to find the approach in the PNF and TC for frail elder Method : This is a literature study with books, articles, seminal note and books for PNF and TC international course. Result : Neural mechanisms contribute significantly to the gains that occur in the range of motion about a joint with stretching exercises. The participation in a stretch-training program decreases tonic reflex activity and increases flexibility and decreases in force production and muscle activation. Also the stretching-induced decreases may be due to a central nervous system inhibitory mechanism. PNF stretch techniques can increase ROM in older adults. These results may differ from those of studies performed with younger populations because of age-related physiologic changes. TC exercise improves balance control and muscle strength and were associated with reorganized lower extremity neuromuscular patterns. Conclusions : The stretch training program of the PNF and TC contribute to increase the balance and coordination for frail elder. Therefore, The frail elder prevent falling. Further study, The PNF and TC be introduced as the new therapeutic intervention for frail elder.

Those who have a spouse with good health and social activities have experienced a chance to attend the educational program. It is thought that health and social activities have much to do with active living attitude. In case of old age, it can be thought that they don't feel the necessity because they have lived a decent life for a long time. It is just that it comes from the fixed ideas of elder couples who had to spend only a short time with their spouses. That is what elder couples have to overcome.

노인의 일반적 보행특성은 대학생들과는 달리 보행속도가 느려지며 보폭의 길이나 보행주기 또한 감소한다. 그럼에도 불구하고, 노인신발제작을 위한 보행특성분석에 대한 연구는 매우 부족한 실정이다. 이에 본 연구는 압력분포기를 이용하여 노인의 보행시 발바닥에 걸리는 압력을 대학생과 비교하였고, 그 특성을 고찰하였다. 분석결과 노인은 보행시 지면접촉시간이 길고, 보행시 발전체면적에 걸리는 최대 힘은 대학생에 비해 남자노인의 경우 1.12배, 여자노인의 경우 1.20배 정도 많이 걸린다. 노인의 지면 접촉시간은 중족골 아치부분에서 접촉시간이 길다 이러한 분석의 결과를 토대로 노인신발의 디자인시 고려해야할 설계지침을 제시하였다. 본 연구는 인간공학적 노인신발을 디자인 하는데 기초자료로 활용될 수 있다.

The social problem can be solved in some degree by improving housing environment and many kinds of welfare program. This study suggests a solution of the problem by applying community space located on ground level floor. The ground level floor of apartment has many physical benefits like connection to the earth, extension, safeness for the aged and child. in case of the National Rental apartment, small residential area and high rate of elder, child, the disabled make the ground level floor useful space for community.

본 연구에서는 국민기초생활보장 노인과 일반노인을 대상으로 노인학대의 실태 및 학대관련 요인에 대해 비교 연구하였다. 조사결과, 첫째로 학대경험에서는 전반적으로 국민기초생활보장 노인이 일반노인보다 높았으며, 두 집단 모두 심리적 학대와 방임의 비율이 높았다. 또한 학대발생은 두 집단 모두 "한 달에 한두 번"이라고 응답한 비율이 높았으며, 신체피해보다는 정신적 피해가 많았다. 둘째로 노인학대자들은 주로 40세 초반이었으며, 남성이 여성보다 약간 많았다. 학대의 주요 이유는 경제문제와 성격문제로 나타났다. 셋째로 노인학대에 영향을 미치는 요인을 보면, 국민기초생활보장 노인의 경우에는 자신이 우울하고, 평소에 음주를 하며, 주변의 지지를 받지 못하는 경우로 나타났다. 또한 학대자가 음주상태에서 공격했거나 아동기 폭력을 경험했고, 가정 내에서 정서적인 유대감이 낮으며, 가족 원수가 적은 경우에 학대가 발생하였다. 일반노인의 경우에는 노인이 아동기 학대를 경험했고, 주변의 지지를 받지 못하며, 학대자와 평소관계가 좋지 않고 정서적인 유대가 낮은 경우에 학대가 발생하는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과를 기반으로, 결론에서는 두 집단의 특성을 고려한 다양한 개입방안을 제시하였다.

The objective of this study is to analyze the needs and determine the requirements of elder drivers for effectively using In-vehicle Information System (IVIS), by reducing cognitive and physical impact on this vulnerable group. The persona method was used to determine the relevant characteristics of older drivers. Task analysis was performed in order to obtain general interaction problems of the personas when using a common function of recent days IVIS. The results were classified in the different usability goals as general requirements, specific needs. This study suggest improvement directions in order to develop an elderly friendly IVIS; in addition, different usability metrics were suggested. In this way, elder drivers would easily interact with new powerful functions supplied by IVIS of modern cars; while improving safety and comfort of an rapidly aging society.
